The Zhou B Art Center is a has been a prominent cultural art space in Chicago since it opened in 2004. Over the years, especially during COVID, the center seemed to lose its zeal and needed to be re-energized. Treehouse Collabs conducted a brand strategy workshop, wrote a new brand strategy, refreshed the brand’s visual identity, and began managing social content production in August of 2025. Within 6 months, with over 100 pieces of social content, the center’s social performance has skyrocketed from 1K to 90K organic monthly views on social, significantly increased monthly event attendance, and drawn higher level artistic talent into their studios and gallery spaces. In partnership with Treehouse, Zhou B is now “the place to be” among Chicago’s blooming art community.
