Diversity
AIGA has launched a national initiative on diversity to actively include designers of diverse ethnic backgrounds in the organization and profession. A nationwide task force chaired by José Nieto (square zero: a design studio, Salem, MA) and Bill Grant (Grant Design Collaborative, Canton, GA) is focusing on defining diversity within AIGA; bringing diverse voices to the AIGA speaker roster; reaching out to students outside traditional art schools; creating an online archive and exhibition of design pioneers of color; and developing a catalog of best practices for chapters reaching new audiences.
