 AIGA’s mission is to advance designing as a professional craft, strategic tool and vital cultural force. AIGA, the professional association for
design, is the place design professionals turn to first to exchange
ideas and information, participate
in critical analysis and research and advance education and ethical
practice. AIGA sets 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. Founded as the American Institute
of Graphic
Arts
in 1914 as a small, exclusive club, AIGA now represents more than
19,000 designers through national activities and local programs developed
by more than 55 chapters and 200 student groups. AIGA serves designers with five critical functions for a profession: AIGA is authoritative in promoting and communicating standards for
ethical conduct and professional expertise and in collecting and
analyzing data about the profession. It is stimulating in its provocative
programming
on critical issues facing design and in celebration of both effective
and innovative design, a source of inspiration for many members. And it
is open
to new ideas, new professional disciplines and the ever-evolving
nature of design.
