The Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and City of Delray Beach are putting out a call to local artists to design Old School Square’s new logo.
As part of Old School Square’s “Legacy Through Local Art” initiative, local artists are encouraged to submit an original watercolor illustration that embodies the spirit of the local arts campus that includes the Cornell Art Museum, Crest Theatre, Creative Arts School, The Amphitheatre, and The Vintage Gym. A committee will review the submissions and select finalists, from which the public will vote to decide the winner.
The winning artist will receive a $5,000 commission for the project, which will consist of a collection of logos for the campus’s four venues. Per a news release, the winner will also receive “a feature in the Spotlight Gallery at the Cornell Art Museum; branding exposure across Old School Square’s marketing, media, and outreach; and special recognition at the Summer 2025 unveiling event.”
The submission period runs from today, March 6, through April 9, with finalists being announced on April 16. The winner will be revealed on May 12 after a three-week voting period for residents.
“Old School Square has long been a cornerstone of Delray Beach’s cultural and historic identity,” said Delray DDA Executive Director Laura Simon. “Through this initiative, we’re inviting artists to reimagine the OSS brand with a fresh, watercolor-inspired logo that reflects its past while embracing a vibrant and innovative future. We can’t wait to see what is created!”
