Ink & Pixels 2025

Take The Next Step Towards Your Design Career

Ink & Pixels is one of AIGA Baltimore's largest events focused on helping designers prepare for a job or career shift. Whether you want to make a good impression in interviews, need a new perspective on your portfolio, or want fresh eyes on a current project, we're here to help. Now more than ever, we believe in the importance of finding alternative ways to come together in the community and share the knowledge and resources we have with each other.

This year, Ink & Pixels is thrilled to offer a weekend of activities starting Thursday, April 18th, with a Studio Tour of Fifteen4 in Hampden and a Q&A with their Design Team. Saturday, April 20th, join us at The Pava Marie LaPere Center for Entrepreneurship (formerly FastForward U) in Remington for portfolio reviews, a workshop, and a speaker series. Mark your calendars and clean up those portfolios!

AIGA Baltimore is excited to host this annual event series that brings together students and professionals who share a passion for design and its future. Join us and share your excitement on social media using the hashtag #inknpixels.
