We keep telling you what the Guild has to offer you. We really want to focus on what you have to offer the Guild. Quite frankly, we can’t do what we do without you. Most organizations might have one or two focuses. The Guild believes its three pillars are equally important. We build a better community by sharing business resources, and advocating for the best possible climate for visual creatives to flourish.

Two lucky winners will get one year free of Creative Cloud. All the apps, all the services: all for them!
Details of the free offer: A code will arrive by email to address you provide. The code can be redeemed using the Adobe ID of choice. It won’t be tied to that email.
During the code redemption process, If the Adobe ID used has never paid Adobe in the past, they are asked to enter a credit card – but that is optional. They do not have to enter a CC to get CC. (see what I did there?) It will not charge you if you don’t ALREADY have a plan purchased.
Q. What if I already pay for CC?
When the code is redeemed, it will add a free year to their existing membership. e.g. if your renewal date is November 2020, after redeeming the code the renewal date will automatically update to November 2021.
Q. What if my employer pays for my CC?
That’s cool – you can still give this gift to a friend! Or an enemy. Or hold a raffle on social media.
Q. But all I need is my Photoshop and CC plan!
Okay, but have you tried Character Animator? Or After Effects? We have a ton of cool stuff for illustrators, and we want you to have time to play with all of it.

Join one of the only organizations advocating for the rights on graphic artists on Capitol Hill! We’re working hard to get legislation passed that will create a small copyright claims tribunal so that you can finally pursue those who steal your work — without breaking the bank! We also represent your rights by talking to the Copyright Office on how we need to see copyright modernized so that we protect our work and our livelihood better. And we join amicus briefs that educate the courts on how their decisions will impact illustration and design professionals.
We can’t do any of this without the support and involvement of graphic artists. With so much attention being given to the creative economy and with copyright law under review, we’re at an exciting time for artist advocates.
Join us and be part of the movement!
