Locally Sourced and Feedback are AIGA Philadelphia’s signature staple events — recurring programs that celebrate regional design talent and foster meaningful critique within our creative community.
These initiatives return year after year, bringing together designers, students, studios, and cross-industry collaborators across Philadelphia.
Together, Locally Sourced and Feedback define the rhythm of our chapter and the standard of our programming.
Why Staple Events Matter
Staple events are not one-off gatherings — they are foundational platforms that strengthen Philadelphia’s creative ecosystem through recognition, critique, and collaboration.
They generate visibility for local talent, create meaningful partnerships, and anchor the long-term growth of AIGA Philadelphia.
LOCALLY SOURCED
Celebrating local creativity. Elevating regional talent.
Locally Sourced is AIGA Philadelphia’s annual showcase and recognition program highlighting outstanding creative work from our region. It brings together designers, studios, and emerging talent to celebrate the depth and diversity of Philadelphia’s design community.
From submission to exhibition, Locally Sourced creates space for visibility, recognition, and connection.
Feedback is a live critique and conversation platform designed to support designers at every stage of their careers. Participants present work, receive constructive insight, and engage directly with peers and industry professionals.
More than a review session, Feedback fosters thoughtful critique, mentorship, and creative accountability within our community.
Locally Sourced and Feedback thrive through thoughtful collaboration. We actively plan these programs in advance to secure impactful venues, sponsorships, and volunteers.
