On November 12, 2009, AIGA San Francisco will present its Annual Fall Gala, entitled “Hung-Up.” Hosted at The Galleria at the San Francisco Design Center, the event attracts 700 designers and will feature custom-designed skateboard decks. Not only is the Gala an opportunity for the design community to come together and appreciate our creative spirit, but it is also a special evening for our sponsorship partners.
For many artists and designers, skating and skate culture has played a major role in their life, either directly influenced by skateboarding itself or indirectly influenced by the music and art of people who skate. Acknowledging the powerful influence it continues to have on our culture, AIGA San Francisco is celebrating the art of skateboarding and are inviting artists and designers to contribute custom skate decks, which will be auctioned off at the end of the night.
AIGA members also have the opportunity to design and submit a deck concept for the People's Choice competition, with voting open to all. The design with with the most votes by November 5, 2009 will receive The People’s Choice Award and will be reproduced for both the artist/designer and included in the silent auction.
In addition to the silent auction, there will be a raffle of items ranging from posters, restaurant vouchers and magazine subscriptions, to a copy of Adobe CS4. The evening will also feature a live art, music, food and more.
