By attending an AIGA event, you agree to abide by the Code of Conduct.

Cocktails with Creatives is AIGA Minnesota’s happy hour to connect with fellow creatives.

Join us for an evening of conversation, fresh connections, and a shared creative energy. Whether you’re a familiar face or new to the community, this is a space to show up, meet others, and settle in.

This month’s gathering will also include a photo booth from Dual Citizen, musical trivia following the event, and a food truck on site.

As always this event is free and open to both AIGA members and non-members, making it a great chance to connect with fellow designers and creative professionals to unwind midweek. Come as you are, and bring a friend!

Interested in Sponsoring?

We’re currently seeking a sponsor for this month’s event. If your organization is interested in supporting Cocktails with Creatives and connecting with Minnesota’s creative community, we’d love to hear from you.
