Old School Square Rebranding & Logo Launch
A Special moment during Art & Jazz on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 | 6:00 PM | In Front of the Cornell Art Museum
Join us for the official unveiling of the new Old School Square brand and logo, a major milestone for one of Delray Beach’s most iconic cultural landmarks!
Earlier this year, the DDA issued a Call for Artists inviting local creatives to help reimagine the future of Old School Square. After more than 10,000 community votes, Delray Beach artist Patricia Torras was chosen as the winner. Over the past several months, Patricia has worked closely with Maureen Olm from the DDA Marketing Team to develop a complete “branded house” of logos for the campus, capturing the spirit of this beloved space as it approaches its 100th anniversary.
The unveiling will take place during Art & Jazz on the Avenue, one of Delray’s longest-running community celebrations of art, music, and culture. It’s the perfect backdrop for this special reveal.
