By now, y’all are privy to the AIGA and that graphic good they grind so well–or you should be, if you read our write up on the 100 Show judges. As we mentioned in the lil’ write up, the AIGA [American Institute of Graphic Art, if you’re nasty] is the oldest and largest professional membership organization for design, and they do a wealth of good for artsy-type communities–not just here in SLC, but nationwide. Each year the crafty coalition puts on a gala and benefit show featuring 100 pieces of the city’s finest works of graphic art–aptly titled the 100 Show.
This year’s event is a biggy–it marks the 100th for the AIGA and the 25th for our local chapter. The spoils on display at the show are the fruits of many-a-laborer, and said fruits have been hand-plucked by the four choice judges selected. The evening is set to include good food and drink, and plenty of mixin’ n’ minglin’. Also: the chance to cop some swell one-of-a-kind pieces from local artists in a silent auction. This thing’s got our COLLECTIVE gold star of approval, and we’re joined in sponsor-hood by the likes of Red Rock Brewery, Big Cartel, and The Mandate Press [needless to say, the company is good]. The shindy goes down Saturday, May 17 at the UMFA. Put on your best gala hat, purchase your tickets nice and early, and get all inspired-like.
