AIGA + You
A profile of partnership

At AIGA Chicago, furthering excellence in design has been as much a legacy as a goal. Chicago designers have always been a vital part of the city, as well as the national design scene. Our current membership still plays a strong role in defining graphic design as a discipline. Some teach at nationally acclaimed design schools. Some are changing social opinion with design. Most work with leading corporations to create clear and influential communications. And all of them have shown their personal commitment to the field by being a part of AIGA.

In joining AIGA Chicago, our members are looking to further their professions and skills, make new contacts, stay in touch with what’s new and important in their community and across the world of design, and meet great people.
 
In short, they know the value of relationship. And one of their most crucial is with the people they collaborate and grow with. That’s why we are looking to build a relationship with you.

An Affinity for Design

AIGA is the premier association of graphic design. We set the national agenda for the role of design in its economic, social, political, cultural and creative contexts. AIGA is the oldest and largest membership association for professionals engaged in the discipline, practice and culture of designing. Aligning your company with AIGA creates an affinity that designers, and their clients, trust.

Sampling

AIGA offers you an unparalleled opportunity to place your product in the hands of design leaders throughout Chicago. Our large, pre-qualified, influential designer and client group is only accessible through our proposed partnership.

Reach

We can design a partnership that is right for you. AIGA programs benefit a wide range of young and experienced designers who work with cutting-edge product suppliers as well as established business institutions. Depending on your services, we can get your product in the right hands.

Access

We want to provide our members with vendors they can rely on, for the benefit of everyone. If we can match your product or services with a design firm you can build a relationship with, then we have done our job. And that’s certainly our goal.
