The 2026 SPOT Showcase & Awards Ceremony highlighted the incredible work of our AIGA Orlando Mentorship Program mentees. From bold concepts to thoughtful design solutions, these emerging creatives truly made their mark.
Congratulations to all of our mentees and mentors, and a huge thank you to our keynote speaker, Tom Macaluso, and sponsors, Adobe, Sonny’s BBQ, Native Screen Print Co., and Lure Design, for helping pave the way for the next generation of designers. To our volunteers, this event would not have been possible without your hard work and support.
