OUR MISSION STATEMENT

 

     The Las Vegas Chapter of AIGA, the professional organization for design, is committed to

 

providing education, support, and networking to professionals and students and serves as an

 

advocate for the ethical practice of design.

 

Founded in 1999, we support designers and varied creative entities in the Las Vegas Valley and

 

surrounding areas by organizing projects and events – lectures, mixers, community partnerships,

 

social outreach, and competitions – to help inform current and future designers, as well as the

 

broader public, about the value of design.

 

      As part of AIGA, we share in the mission of advancing design as a professional craft, strategic

 

tool, and vital cultural force. The membership of over 22,000 in 66 chapters believe designers serve a

 

critical role as communicators, educators, and innovators. AIGA sets the national standard for the

 

role of design in economic, social, political, cultural, and creative contexts. Founded in 1914 as the

 

American Institute of Graphic Arts, AIGA remains the oldest and largest professional membership

 

organization for design and is now known simply as “AIGA, the professional association for

 

design.” www.aiga.org
