by Katie Hodges \ August 30, 2017

We kicked off our '17-'18 year (we start over in August) with the documentary Graphic Means. Graphic Means explores graphic design production of the 1950s through the 1990s. Like most of our events, it was a success (not to brag, well just a little) and it's any indication of how this next year will be, we can't wait to see what this year will bring. Make sure your check out our recap!

Event Recap

Photo Recap: Danielle Evans + Silent Auction

by Katie Hodges \ March 24, 2017

If you missed last week's event, we kind of feel sorry for you. Danielle Evan's talk was incredible, inspiring and filled with lots laughs and some pretty sick dance moves. What can we say? She left us hungry for more (pun intended). Because Danielle gave such incredible presentation, it makes my job of recapping it for you even harder, but I'll do my best! So pull up a seat, grab a your fave drink and get ready to be inspired.
