On May 5th, 2007 AIGA Houston will celebrate Houstons design legacy with the AIGA Houston Design Gala at the Houstonian Hotel and Resort.

This year, we will honor our first ever Fellows, Cheryl Beckett of Minor Design Group, the University of Houston and Chris Hill of Hill, Texas State University and the Creative Summit. Both AIGA members will be honored that evening by the Houston chapter for their many years of continued service to our creative community and their commitment to design education. Fellows are selected based on their significant contribution to AIGA and their positive impact on both the local and national design communities. Honorees work will be on display at the event and more information will be available mid-February on the AIGA Houston Web site about ticket availability and event details.

The Gala will be chaired by Bo Bothe of BrandExtract and Robin Tooms of Savage Design Group. We would like to thank Thomas Hull of Rigsby Hull for developing the identity and materials for this years event. AIGA Houston will also recognize Walter P Moore with the first ever AIGA Houston Corporate Design Leadership Award. Walter P Moore will be recognized at the Design Gala as an organization that has helped to advance design and the profession of designing in our city. In addition to their commitment to design in our community, Walter P Moore has created outstanding Houston landmarks such as the Astrodome, Jones Hall and Reliant.
