Nurturing the Next Generation of Artists
Ryman Arts has been providing free art education to talented high school students in Los Angeles for over 30 years. Founded on the legacy of Disney animator Herb Ryman, the program has launched thousands of young artists into careers in fine art, animation, design, and beyond.
Their existing website wasn't keeping pace with the organization's impact. They needed a site that could showcase student work, attract donors, recruit applicants, and tell the story of a program that transforms lives through art.
A Platform That Honors the Art
We built Ryman Arts a Squarespace website designed to put student artwork front and center while serving the practical needs of a growing nonprofit.
Key elements of the project included:
Gallery-forward design. Student work is the star. We created portfolio-style galleries that showcase the incredible talent coming out of the program, giving prospective students, donors, and supporters an immediate sense of what Ryman Arts produces.
Clear pathways for key audiences. The site serves multiple groups: students applying to the program, donors considering support, alumni staying connected, and community members learning about the mission. We structured navigation and calls-to-action so each audience can find what they need without confusion.
Donation integration. Nonprofits live and die by fundraising. We made giving prominent and frictionless, with clear impact messaging that connects donations to outcomes.
Event and program information. Class schedules, application deadlines, and exhibition announcements are easy to find and easy to update as the calendar changes.
Mobile-responsive throughout. Many prospective students will discover Ryman Arts on their phones. The site looks sharp and functions smoothly on any device.
The Result
Ryman Arts now has a website that matches the caliber of their program. Student artwork takes center stage, donors can give with confidence, and prospective students can envision themselves as part of the Ryman community.
Running a Nonprofit? Your Website Should Work as Hard as You Do.
A nonprofit website isn't a brochure. It's a fundraising tool, a recruitment platform, and the first impression for everyone from foundations to first-time donors.
