HUNG UP

"On November 12, 2009, AIGA San Francisco will present its Annual Fall Gala: “Hung Up.” Hosted at The Galleria at the San Francisco Design Center, the event attracts 700 attendees and will feature custom-designed skateboard decks. Not only is the Gala an opportunity for the design community to come together and appreciate our creative spirit, but it is also a special evening for our sponsorship partners.

For many artists and designers, skating and skate culture has played a major role in their life, either directly influenced by skateboarding itself or indirectly influenced by the music and art of people who skate. Acknowledging the powerful influence it continues to have on our culture, AIGA San Francisco is celebrating the art of skateboarding and are inviting artists and designers to contribute custom skate decks, which will be auctioned off at the end of the night.

In addition to the silent auction, there will be a raffle — ranging from posters, restaurant vouchers and magazine subscriptions to a copy of Adobe CS4 — and a live art component.

Raffle items:

* Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS4
* FontShop Books: FontBook and Made With FontFont
* Bottle of wine from Dutch Henry w/label poster ($50 Cabernet)
* Poster from The Small Stakes
* LogoLounge Membership ($100.00)
* Wine basket from GiftTree
* 3-packs of “Scout Books” skateboarding-themed notebooks from Pinball Publishing
* 9 Skateboards from Upper Playground

Buy your raffle tickets ahead of time in packs of six(6) tickets for $5.00.

Every year our Event Sponsor and Exhibitor Tables sell out quickly so if you are considering supporting us this year, please let us know by October 1, 2009. If available, sponsors may sign up together to share the cost of a table. We will provide tables and cloths; we regret that we cannot accommodate backdrops or booths.
