Only 2 weeks until AIGA Asheville Hosts 2nd Annual Design Weekend - “The Power of Design”
We're rapidly approaching showtime on the premier regional event for creative professionals of the year! We're proud to be co-organizers and sponsors of this year's event.
AIGA Asheville's annual design weekend returns November 3rd-5th. This year's theme is "The Power of Design".
Design has the power to shape the world. It solves problems, tells stories, and evokes emotions. Design is more than aesthetics. It’s a means to educate, to inspire, and to communicate what we believe in. Design has the extraordinary ability to influence perceptions, challenge possibilities, and make a lasting impact on the future.
