The Association of Graphic Designers (STGU) is the only Polish professional organisation with a focus on graphic design. Since 2004 the association has led many activities based on independent design projects, the promotion of designer's rights, and in raising the prestige of graphic design. The organisation aims to be a centre of experience and exchange in developing the contemporary concept of a graphic designer.
The organisation consists of 200 of the most interesting Polish artists and graphic designers in Poland, representing different generations, Polish regions and various fields of graphic design. STGU works in collaboration with the most important Polish institutions, firms and design media.
