AIGA Nebraska is 100% volunteer-run and fueled by membership. Every single person in the AIGA Community, from first-year students to nationally-recognized professionals, is involved because of their own personal passion for advancing design and building an even better creative community.

To represent more of Nebraska’s diverse design community and to strengthen our local roots, we would encourage applicants outside of the Omaha area to apply.
