With this year’s card submissions officially complete, AIGA Dallas is stepping away from the screen for a casual happy hour at JĀKÖ Cocina y Agave.

The designs will remain completely under wraps until the official Reveal Party later this year—no previews and no early reveals. This night is about the people behind the project: meeting more designers and creative professionals from across DFW, reconnecting with familiar faces, and celebrating an important milestone together.

JĀKÖ offers the perfect change of scenery: a lively, welcoming place to get out of the routine, enjoy a cocktail or dinner, and have real conversations without name tags making everything feel too serious. Come alone, bring a friend, or invite the creative person you have been meaning to catch up with.

AIGA members attend free, and non-member tickets are $5. Ticket proceeds help support the production of The Deck. Food and beverages are available for individual purchase.

What to expect

• Networking that doesn’t have to feel like networking

• Designers, creatives, coworkers, friends, and future AIGA members from across DFW

• A chance to celebrate completed submissions while the artwork stays secret until the Reveal Party

• Cocktails, drinks, and food available for individual purchase

• A fun reason to leave the house on a Thursday and support The Deck
