In celebration of 50 years of de-evolution, the cult-classic American new wave band DEVO returned to their home state of Ohio with a curated exhibition of rare and never-before-seen fine art prints of iconic moments in DEVO history.

The exhibition included a pop-up viewing at the North Market and a VIP meet & greet event hosted at 934 Gallery. We crafted a full marketing campaign to support the exhibition, including digital promos, takeaway print materials, and an event poster that doubled as a photo backdrop. Every asset was designed to celebrate DEVO’s legacy while driving buzz and attendance for the event.

On a personal note, our highlight of the event was getting the opportunity to meet Mark Mothersbaugh himself – frontman of DEVO and the brilliant composer of countless iconic scores including Rugrats, Halloweentown, and so many Wes Anderson movies that we love.
