Artisan turns 20 years old and we want to celebrate with you!
For 20 years, Artisan has set the precedent for Matching Talent with Success.®
To celebrate two decades of accomplishment and our continued commitment to the design community, the New York and Chicago offices are teaming together to announce the "The Match that Gives Back," Artisan's $20,000 Creative Competition.
This exciting initiative matches a deserving nonprofit organization with a talented designer or design team to produce creative services valued up to $20,000.
A prominent panel of marketing, academic and community leaders judge the winning design team and nonprofit to "make the match." The winners will be announced on November 6 at Chicago's River East Art Center.
The final winners will be announced live, November 6th, at Artisan's invitation only 20th anniversary celebration.
