ArtServe Michigan recognized Old Town-based CiesaDesign for the firm's continuous support of area arts and cultural organizations.
“I think what I’m really proud of as a company is that we’ve already had this core belief to give back to the community, and it’s really exciting to see how many other
employees have gotten involved with that,” says Lauren Ciesa, president of CiesaDesign.
CiesaDesign has participated in a number of non-profit, art-centric causes, including designing and promoting city festivals. CiesaDesign was selected as an Exemplary Business Award honoree along with Macy’s of Minneapolis and Oakwood Healthcare System of Dearborn. The recipient in this award category will be announced and honored at the 23rd Annual Governor’s Awards for Arts & Culture (The Guvvys), November 13, 2008 at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
“We are an arts studio in a respect,” Ciesa says. “We’ve got the expertise for branding and design that a lot of the smaller non-profits don’t necessarily have. I’ve always believed these festivals and these types of things need a professional look to them so the community accepts them.”
This is the first time CiesaDeisgn has been recognized for this award.
