Almost 700 people joined AIGA San Francisco for our biggest event of the year, a heavenly night of food drinks and music to celebrate the creative unwasting of paper.

Paper was rescued from recycling limbo with a benefit auction of post-consumer paper apparel and objets d’art by some of the Bay Area’s great designers. We’ll also have a runway show, a DJ and lots of giveaways from our industry sponsors.

This event was Green in more ways than one!
Instead of plastic trays, we used compostable plates, napkins and cutlery made from corn and paper. All food trash from the event was composted!

Our event caterer, Greenleaf Platters, composts all of their food scraps, recycles all plastic, cans and cardboard that come through their kitchen and use low energy appliances and low flow water sprayers. Greenleaf Platters is a certified green business in Alameda County.
