Are you constantly guessing what you should charge a client for the work you do for them? Take part in a casual social evening getting to know other creatives while estimating prices. Let’s make a game out of it!
Join us for the Pricing Game, where artists, illustrators, cartoonists, creatives, and even the curious can stop by and learn all about pricing art, but with fun and “guesstimates” of prices graphic artists and designers got paid for their work.
Grab a drink, get comfortable, and open the link for Zoom to participate in this fun-filled, engaging virtual gathering of creatives hosted by the West Region of the Graphic Artists Guild. Create New Contacts! Have Fun! WIN PRIZES!

NFTs have been making headlines for their negative environmental impact. But did you know your website also has a carbon footprint? Every time we load a website, we use electricity and CO2 is emitted. However, there are ways we can reduce CO2 emissions from the websites we design, making them greener, more accessible and even boosting their SEO.
We’ll cover:
What green web design is and why we should strive to be green web designers. Amy will give you actionable steps to reduce your own website’s carbon footprint without even needing coding knowledge.
