Town Square

 

 


Town Square: your opportunity to meet fellow designers and professionals in the area. Your time to discuss topics and themes of your choice. Your chance to create your own community of design in North Carolina. It's completely informal, 100% free, and best of all, YOU get to shape the dialogue of design in the Triangle area. AIGA is pleased to bring you this initiative that empowers you to delve deeper into design.



Here are the group listings for January:
