2019 AIGA Seattle Changemaker Showcase

Join the AIGA Seattle Changemaker teams as we celebrate 5 years of partnering nonprofits with volunteer creatives and the results of the 2019 Changemaker Series! 

Over the past few months, our volunteer project teams have flexed their creative superpowers to collaborate with local nonprofits to dive into this year's challenge

How might we foster stewardship of the environment for lasting generations?

Celebrate the creative teams' successes over wine, beer, and light appetizers at The Mountaineers, a nonprofit outdoor community that helps people explore, conserve, learn about, and enjoy the lands and waters of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

  • Meet passionate creatives and nonprofit organizations working to preserve our natural environment.
  • Hear firsthand about team journeys through the design-thinking process, project results for their nonprofit partners, and the next steps for driving positive change in our community.
  • Spark ideas for the next year's Changemaker Series cause.
  • Learn more about joining the Changemaker movement!

Presentations will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. Free parking is available on site. Tickets range from $10-$20, with an optional donation to help offset the costs of running our program. Your ticket includes admission into the event, two drink tickets, and light appetizers.

We are committed to making tickets accessible to all regardless of an individual's financial situation, so email us at changemaker@seattle.aiga to inquire about discounted tickets if ticket cost is a barrier to your attendance
