AIGA Raleigh Turns 40: The Ultimate Rocktober Birthday Bash
Wednesday, October 7
6:30–10p
Junction West
Four decades of design, community, and creative hustle deserve one serious celebration. Put on your leg warmers or your favorite faded tee, because AIGA Raleigh is hitting the big 4-0, and we are throwing a party that dials the energy straight back to 1986 bowling alley and Chuck-E-Cheese throw downs. We are talking party hats, people!

🍸 First 40 Drinks Free: Arrive early to grab a drink on us as we toast to 40 years of creating a place where design thrives for everyone.

Dress Code: Anything Goes Want to rock full 1986 retro with neon, big hair, and acid-wash denim? Hell yes. Prefer to roll up in a plain T-shirt and shorts? Hell yes. There’s no fashion inspection at the door, just wear whatever makes you feel like celebrating.
