Hear from members why AIGA is the place to go for connections, resources, savings, education, recognition and—of course—inspiration.

All around us, we see organizations and communities that need to change. The job for design is everywhere. I would like the people who come through our design education program to become embedded in thousands of places, helping our species evolve from selfish users of resources to expanders and creators of resources. And for that, while there is no “studio” involved, we hope you join us.

Charles T. Coiner, an acclaimed painter and art director for advertising agency A.W. Ayer & Son, introduced modern art to American advertising and showed that innovative graphic design could effectively address the needs of the U.S. government. In 2004, he was awarded an AIGA Medal.
