Allied Arts OPUS X 2018 Issues Branding RFP
The OPUS planning committee is looking to partner with an agency to create an event brand identity and promotional materials. The brand will be used in all OPUS print materials and will be many individuals’ first impression of the event.

Allied Arts serves approximately 40 organizations annual, raising awareness of the arts, promoting arts education for the underserved and mobilizing support for arts organizations. OPUS is Allied Arts’ biennial fundraising gala and raised more than $239,000 in 2016. This year, the event will take place at The Criterion on Friday, October 12, 2018. The theme is still to be determined, but the event will include an open bar, food stations, a silent auction and entertainment throughout the venue.
