The AIGA SD board is excited to announce the winners of the 2019 Idea Fund grants.
The Idea Fund grant program that gives AIGA a way to fund designer-initiated projects that positively impact the local community. Our selection committee reviewed all proposals and selected three that matched the AIGA mission: Make our community better by making designers better.
First up, No Business Magazine.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
No Business Magazine questions the notion of aesthetic ownership by revealing processes and personal histories tied to art-making. Seeking to shift conversations away from the transactional, No Business Magazine interrogates concepts that make our “consumption” of art and culture more meaningful.
The first issue examines “identity” and the ways in which fractured, fragmented, or multiple identities inform aesthetic decisions and process to intentionally position ‘difference’ and ‘otherness’ in closer proximity to power. The issue will feature artists Marsha Mack, Daniel Mung, Amelie Mancini, Paul Dressen, and Brian Bieber, with writing from Angela Zonunpari, Amy Jarding, Lorraine Rubio, and Eli Show.
Studio Visits
In addition to the magazine, the project includes artist studio visits happening on Saturday, July 13, 2019.
