Due to the fragility of some of the objects Frida will be sharing we ask that you place your food and drinks aside during the Salon.

Please plan to arrive at Teaism around 7:30 a.m. to allow time to purchase breakfast refreshments and network with other members. The Salon begins promptly at 8:00 a.m.

AIGA DC Salons are free, intimate roundtable discussions open to AIGA members only. Check your AIGA membership status at AIGA.org before registering.
