Nashville Chapter |
The Nashville chapter of AIGA, the professional association for design, was formed in 2002 so that all local creative professions will have the support and resources of local ties, with affiliation to a national organization.
AIGA Nashville is a state-recognized, not-for-profit organization of designers, design educators, creative directors, photographers, illustrators, copywriters, production managers, web designers, web programmers, animators, production artists and many other types of creative professionals.
Our current goal is to create community within the local environment of creatives through our monthly programming and developing relationships with other creative organizations.
AIGA NASHVILLE’S MISSION
Our mission is (1) to promote the highest level of creative excellence and professionalism in the communications arts as a strategic tool for business and as a cultural force and (2) to continually develop the communication arts community of Nashville by providing leadership and a forum for the exchange of ideas and information, by encouraging critical analysis and research, and advancing education and ethical practices of the communication arts profession.
AIGA NATIONAL HISTORY
AIGA was established in 1914 by a group of 40 people from the National Arts Club in New York City, who met and drafted a constitution for a new organization that would serve as “a source of pleasure and intellectual profit” to its members. William W. Howland, publisher and editor of the magazine The Outlook was elected first president. By 1922, AIGA adopted bylaws stating a desire to stimulate and encourage those in design; foster concerns for standards of design; form a center for the exchange of ideas; and stimulate the public taste. Those objectives still lie at the organization’s core.
Today, AIGA serves more than 22,000 members throughout the world. In the 1980s, AIGA began establishing chapters, and today there are more than 60 celebrating excellence in design and promoting an understanding and respect for the profession.
