Design Legends Gala

Silent auction and reception

Guests of the 2009 Design Legends Gala bid on signed and limited-edition works by noted designers in the second annual Silent Auction. All proceeds benefit AIGA’s initiatives to both preserve the profession’s past—through the AIGA Design Archives—and promote its future—with Worldstudio AIGA Scholarships.
