Break out your wassail and dust off your favorite woolen party hat, it’s time for our annual holiday mingle! We’re teaming up with AAF to host the merriest holiday party in design history.

Suggested $5 donation given at the door or an item from the Humane Society of Charlotte's Wish List (*all proceeds go to the Humane Society of Charlotte)

 In addition to some quality holiday hobnobbing, we’ll also be sharing some yuletide cheer with the Humane Society of Charlotte. This year, they have been in the ASPCA Rachel Ray 100K Challenge, a national competition to inspire animal shelters—and those who support them—to go above and beyond to increase pet adoption, reunite lost pets with their families and save more animals’ lives.

AIGA Charlotte and AAF would like to help them with their cause by donating 100% of the Merry Mingle entrance fee to the HSC. Additionally, we’d like to help them shrink their Wish List this season. They are in great need of these cold-weather and animal-enrichment equipment to train, interact & socialize the animals during their stay. Bring in a item from the list below to receive a complimentary drink ticket during the event.
