Fresh Grad 2026 Program

You can now purchase advertising placements in AIGA NY's program for its 16th installment of Fresh Grad.

Fresh Grad is an annual showcase event presented by AIGA NY featuring the thesis projects of 10 exceptional graduate design students from local and regional MFA, MA and certificate programs. It promotes collaboration, innovation, and diversity within the graduate design community and continues to inspire and empower generations of designers to embrace fresh perspectives and forge meaningful connections in the industry.

250 booklets will be printed. Our program will have a limited number of advertising pages, so your ad will be prominent and visible. You will be supporting the mission of the AIGA NY, and our dedication to serving the emerging design community of New York. Your sponsorship also covers stipends for student writers and contributors to the publication.

Supporting sponsors will receive 2 free tickets to the event. Program size is 5.5” x 8.5” black and white. You may use your ad to congratulate the graduates, but we ask that you not shout out a specific presenter or individual.

NOTE: This year, the entire program will be printed in black and silver ink. Please submit your files in black and white. If you submit in color, it will be converted to black and white.

Deadline for ad reservation AND file submission is May 16. If you do not upload your file during the reservation process, the ad must still be emailed to justin.wong@aigany.org by this deadline.
