American Health Care Association Grassroots "Call to Action" Newsletter Insert
With healthcare reform a hot topic in Congress, AHCA needed to get their message out to their members quickly. The Art Monkey worked with AHCA to design a grassroots "call to action" four-page insert for their monthly Notes newsletter that grabs reader's attention quickly to ensure a prompt response. AHCA used the insert to urge members to contact their Congressmen regarding the effects of the proposed health care reform bills on medicare, assisted living, and nursing home facilities with the bold tagline, "Save Our Seniors!".

Independent Sector 2008 Annual Report
Independent Sector's 2008 annual report, titled Our Hopes, Our Voice, Our Future, serves as a state of the union and call to action for the organization's members—nonprofits, foundations, and corporate giving programs—during a challenging economic time. Independent Sector's existing logo and photography, as well as the idea of working together to promote the common good, provided inspiration for the design of the report.

"Ms. Venart and The Art Monkey have proven time and again that they are creative, conscientious and handle their work in a timely, economical way. I highly recommend the firm."
Tom Burke, Senior Director, Public Relations, AHCA
"Lynne is as reliable as the sunrise and creates designs as stunning. With minimal input from me, she invariably nails the look and feel of a concept on the first try. I've been using Lynne's services for six years, on dozens of projects, and couldn't be more pleased with the results."
Jerry Orvedahl, CQ Press
"Lynne Venart has created more than two dozen web designs for me over the past seven years: never late, never over budget, never off brand, and never disappointing. Her designs are always original and creative, and on top of it all, Lynne is simply a pleasure to work with."
Jerry Orvedahl, CQ Press
"Lynne worked closely with us from the start of our business to create a logo that embodied our vision and a site that reflected our core values. We provide healing services to people experiencing stress, so her ability to create a welcoming, easy-to-navigate site was essential. We have received numerous positive comments about the professional look and comfortable feel of the design."
Tracie Nichols, The Resiliency Center
"Since we were a growing business at the time we first hired Lynne, website flexibility was critical. Lynne created the initial design when we were only two people strong—and then found ways to reorganize the site as we grew to fifteen strong—so that visitors could find information easily."
Tracie Nichols, The Resiliency Center
"She was always a step ahead of us in brainstorming ways to improve the site and in finding cost-effective solutions (e.g. online calendar and newsletter programs) to meet our needs. Thank you for your wonderful design and your ongoing partnership as we continue to grow our organization!"
Tracie Nichols, The Resiliency Center
"We have a small shop with a large amount of work. Lynne is an indispensable extra set of hands for us. She is talented, flexible, and has learned our system. We use her for both graphics and coding. Our clients like her ability to get jobs done on time. Our IT staff appreciates her tidy code and positive outlook."
Steve Fuchs, Voice of America / Broadcasting Board of Governors
"The Art Monkey gets straight A's in their service, creativity and pricing. They are a dynamic and integral part of our success and an absolute pleasure to work with."
Glenn Hefferan, Atlantic Metropolitan Hockey League
"Lynne Venart is truly wonderful to work with! She is very professional, creative and completes the jobs quickly. She also goes above and beyond which results in wowing our customers."
Abby Kirsch, Red Bull North America

ABOUT: BACKGROUND & SPECIALTIES

There's no two ways about it—The Art Monkey is a small graphic design and web development studio.

On most days, Creative Director Lynne Venart is the only one in the office. But when we need to, we pull team members from our network of freelancers to help with the workload, be an extra set of eyes, or solve a tough web development problem. The Art Monkey's micro-agency setup gives you the benefit of our low overhead costs paired with the experience of a seasoned Creative Director for every project.
