About AIGA SEATTLE

The founding of AIGA Seattle established a benchmark for activity early in its history. AIGA Seattle's kick-off event, held on October 29, 1986 at the Seattle Art Museum in Volunteer Park was attended by nearly 200 people, including guest speaker Kit Hinrichs of the AIGA National Executive Board and AIGA Seattle's Founding President, Pat Hansen. With the commitment of the Chapter's first Board of Directors, a dedicated group of vendors and design firms raised more than $20,000 in seed money, and AIGA Seattle was established as the 9th AIGA Chapter in the nation. Since its inception, it has seen its membership grow from a core group of 19 individuals up to 650 members. Currently we have 550 members and are the 8th largest chapter. AIGA Seattle has maintained its role as a national mentor to other chapters, and has helped establish Seattle as one of the premier graphic design communities in North America.
