Programs + Initiatives
The AIGA Arizona chapter has evolved over the years to include so much more than events.
While we’re proud to provide networking opportunities and educational workshops and panels, we challenge ourselves constantly to provide more segmented programming, resources, and support for our creative community. Here’s a preview of what we’ve got going on.
