Chapter News

We’re excited to announce that Philly SIGGRAPH is now a Partner in Residence with DesignPhiladelphia! This new chapter strengthens our mission to celebrate and explore the intersection of design, graphics technology, and digital creativity across Philadelphia.

Our new home base at the Center for DesignPhiladelphia (1218 Arch Street) is located at the heart of the city, right across from the Convention Center and Suburban Station. As part of this collaboration, we’ll be hosting a series of events, workshops, and community gatherings that spotlight the city’s most innovative work in interactive design, animation, digital art, and immersive media.

Hello Phellow Philly SIGGRAPHers!

Our first event, a screening of the ACM SIGGRAPH 2023 Computer Animation Festival at Cesium was a smashing success, with over 60 people in attendance! Thank you for showing out for such a wonderful evening of computer graphics excellence. 

But we’re not sitting on that success. In fact, for our next event, we’re hoping YOU might supply the art. Yes, that’s right, it’s a Bring Your Own Art and Animation (BYOA) event. Screen works-in-progress, get feedback and encouragement, and enjoy some more great times with the Philly SIGGRAPH community. You don’t have to share your work to participate though – it will be great to have you there anyway.

Note that this is a VIRTUAL event that will happen on our Discord server (see below on how to join).

Hello Phellow Philly SIGGRAPHers!

We are excited to announce that the ACM SIGGRAPH Philadelphia Professional Chapter has been officially chartered!

We are so grateful for the interest in starting the newest local professional chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH. Thanks to the overwhelming response we received from the local computer graphics community, we were able to submit our petition to charter early Fall 2023 and meet the requirements for founding a chapter.

Our officer board has been set with the following members:

• Valentina Miller, Chair
• Anjelikal Rogers, Vice-Chair
• Fatma Ozen, Secretary
• Brittany Gilbert-Demarco, Treasurer
• Chris Morris, Webmaster
• Geoff Beatty, Membership Coordinator
• Natasha Warshawsky, Chapters Committee representative

We are eager to plan our first official event in early 2024, and we want it to be a big one! For that, we need you to continue to spread the word. You can encourage others to sign up by forwarding this link:

Thanks again for your support, and looking forward to bringing the wonderful comradery, professional networking, and mind-expanding educational opportunities we’ve come to expect from SIGGRAPH.

Cheers!

The Philly SIGGRAPH team
