May 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Chapel Hill, N.C.  – Carolina Performing Arts (CPA) has selected Rivers Agency as its strategic and creative web design and development partner for “The Rite of Spring at 100,” an international, year long project commemorating the centennial of the 1913 premiere of the renowned Stravinsky ballet.

Rivers’ expert online strategists proposed a captivating, stylistic design in fine detail to communicate the power and beauty of CPA’s vision. Key features of the “The Rite of Spring at 100” site include: a mobile-friendly design; compelling, media rich content incorporating audio and video clips to accompany text; and a social media interface displaying related content from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The secret for the Rivers’ designers is how skilled they are in making all the engaging elements fit. It just launched today - http://www.theriteofspringat100.org/.

“‘The Rite of Spring at 100’ is big, a multi-faceted re-imagination of a profoundly influential piece,” states Lauren Rivers, creative director for Rivers Agency. “The website design had to be both inspiring and informative. We are excited and honored to have been selected to be part of this significant series at Carolina Performing Arts. It is a rare opportunity.”

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation selected CPA to receive the $750,000 grant to bring the “Rite of Spring” centennial celebration to life.
