Please contact programming@orlando.aiga.org by May 8th. All portfolio reviewees must arrive by 5:45pm day of event.

Mentorship Program Exhibit:
A special case where being covered in spots looks real good. In the AIGA Mentorship Program, student members and professional members are matched and collaborate over four months to encourage creative and professional growth. SPOT is the culminating event for the program and the resulting work is the spotlight for the evening. The winning work is given a $500 scholarship presented by AIGA Orlando!
