The West Region is hosting a community event with resources you can find on the Guild website for the design and creative community.
The event will be a challenge of questions you can hunt down answers and links, while finding a few ‘Easter eggs’ that may have been left behind from the Sunday before. There will be socializing and announcements of Prize Winners towards the end.
The only request we ask:
Please don’t use the dreaded search box.
Prizes will vary from Guild t-shirts, sketch books, stickers, and more.

Blockchain technology and NFTs/crypto art provide graphic artists with new ways to monetize artwork and ensure that their attribution and copyright management information are perpetually and inextricably linked to their work. However, as with every technological advancement, NFTs are a double-edged sword.
The poorly managed platforms selling NFTs have also empowered bad actors to plagiarize works, cheat unsuspecting buyers, and monetize the work of artists without permission. We would like to hear from our members about their experiences with NFTs — please attend this roundtable conversation and share your stories with us!
