About
Welcome to the Utah Graphic Artists Forum, a guild of local professional, amateur, and student artists. Our purpose is to promote and support the development and expression of the graphic arts and to facilitating and ecouraging conversations and interaction between graphic artists in Utah.
We welcome members involved in all forms of the graphic arts, including illustrators, photographers, graphic designers, typographers, user interface designers, and web developers. All are welcome and encouraged to participate, discussing current events and trends, historical topics, theory, techniques, technology, business, and/or employment.
The Utah Graphic Artists Forum is a community. We are a forum in the classic, Roman definition of the word: the main public square at the center of a town which served as the political, social, and commercial center and was surrounded by the most important governmental, religious, and cultural buildings.
Yes, we have a web-based discussion board (”forum”) but that is only one of many mediums for discussion that our members engage in. Other mediums and services include mailing lists, an IRC channel for chat, job announcements, RSS feeds, syndicated calendar events, monthly gatherings featuring speakers or workshops, and field trips. Membership is free and open to anyone interested.
