Formed in 1989, the Arizona chapter serves the graphic design community and those in related fields within our state, and augments the activities of the national AIGA organization. Our four-tiered mission is to bring programming to the local design community that helps to: - Improve design ability - Connect complementary disciplines - Encourage social impact - Promote community excellence AIGA Arizona programming includes our premier annual event, Phoenix Design Week which includes a 2-day conference, plus ongoing monthly events and exhibitions throughout the year, such as our Collide Meetup, Snaps In-House Showcase, Adobe software training, student and professional portfolio reviews, hands-on workshops, and speaker opportunities with local and national creative experts. We’re especially proud of our contributions to the Design for Good program which uses design thinking to accelerate and amplify social change.
