Design that Moves Our City Forward

AIGA projects are time-bound, mission-driven initiatives that rally volunteers, partners, and sponsors around a clear creative goal. From one-night pop-ups to multi-month research studies, each project advances at least one of AIGA’s core pillars—design excellence, community, education, diversity & inclusion, or advocacy—while delivering measurable impact.
