Virtual Event

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

Share a project. Get feedback. Keep going!

Join AIGA MN on Thursday, April 2 from 5-7 PM (CT) for a Virtual Portfolio Jam.

Portfolio Jam is a low-pressure space to share work, get thoughtful feedback, and connect with other creatives.

Students and emerging designers are invited to share one project in a small group setting. You’ll present your work, then open it up for live discussion with peers and professionals – leaving with a stronger sense of where to take it next.

You’re also welcome to attend, listen, and join the conversation. Sharing is optional, but presentation spots are limited.

We’re also looking for reviewers!

RSVP,  apply to present, or sign up to review via the links below. A Zoom Link will be sent to you after submitting a completed RSVP form .
