White House Calls on AIGA Members to Promote Community ServiceThe White House and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) have requested AIGA members' help in promoting public service opportunities in their communities during the "United We Serve" initiative, a summer of community involvement culminating in a National Day of Service and Remembrance on September 11, 2009.
On behalf of the Obama administration, the NEA has asked members of AIGA, the professional association for design, to visually promote local opportunities for community service and then create a visual record of the results.
"Designers should be involved as citizens and as designers.
Each designer has the ability to move others by making stories visible and capturing the community experience," said AIGA Executive director Richard Grefe.
