WE GO WAY BACK…
Art City was bred from the love of fine art and the intrigue of large scale printing. The business was born in 2003, and is continually evolving. What started as a business that would produce beautiful, large scale signage has pushed the edge of innovative advertising, and followed its way into a new form of large scale artistic advertising - vinyl prints for vehicle + commercial spaces. Each wrap is so unique and custom to the project, which is why we love what we do. Every day is something different, and each project is a piece of art - a new challenge to tackle.
Each member of our team has a deep passion for the company’s mission, and a desire to grow in our field which is what keeps us rolling. Our design team has a great breadth of experience in branding as well as design theory. We are extremely versatile and can design anything from trailer spot graphics to a series of graphics for commercial installations for businesses both large and small. Our installers are top-notch and treat each installation as an opportunity to do better than the last. We have a passion for growth - personal and professional and we’re fully committed to the happiness and success of our clients.

You can find many of her logos, print products and vehicle wrap designs around Oshkosh and the surrounding areas. Carla loves working with her clients, helping them communicate their branding and message in the best way possible.
