AIGA Asheville is teaming up with our friends at the Center for Craft to bring you an exclusive AIGA National Conference Watch Party—a full day of inspiration, networking, and creative energy. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this is your chance to connect with fellow creatives while catching some of the top sessions from this year's AIGA National Design Conference.

Introducing... Show and Tell! A new kind of Creative Hangout!  Show us a project you’re proud of & tell us all about it! Could be an old favorite, a recent gem, something in progress, or even a concept in development you’re especially excited about. The goal here is to share your awesome work to inspire others and generate conversation.

Join us for a new event at Ernest Coworking for our first Demo Date! Check out Concept Ink’s groundbreaking hi-res vertical printing tech as they bring a mural to life on our walls. Enjoy snacks, drinks, and a chance to connect. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to connect and be inspired.

We thought we’d mix it up for our last Creative Hangouts of the summer! August’s event will be a casual social gathering at the Wedge Brewery at Foundation. Come out and enjoy some sunshine and drinks with your favorite group of designers on Thursday, August 15 starting at 5:30.

Things can get pretty crazy pretty quickly when there are multiple points of view involved in a design project. Let’s chat about how to be the leader your clients need & keep your projects under control! Creative Hangouts Panel Topic This Month: Leading Clients through a Project Smoothly
