Programs

We put on a variety of programs year-round and worldwide to benefit the ACM SIGGRAPH community.

Art Gallery

Since the earliest SIGGRAPH conferences, an essential part of our community has been those artists and researchers who use the computer as part of their creative process. Here are a number of online areas related to the annual SIGGRAPH Art Gallery.

Awards

The ACM SIGGRAPH Awards program recognizes individuals who have made a significant contribution to the computer graphics community through their research, teaching, service, or writing. Each year, the awards are presented at the annual SIGGRAPH conference's Wednesday morning opening session.

Carto Project

The Carto Project is an ACM SIGGRAPH Special Project that explores how viewpoints and techniques from the computer graphics community can be effectively applied to cartographic and spatial data sets. The "Carto Project" is in collaboration with the International Cartographic Association's (ICA) Commission on Visualization and the GeoVRML Working Group of the Web 3D Consortium. The project seeks viewpoints from the computer graphics community on technology (including hardware and software) and techniques that will impact and can be applied to cartographic visualization.

Education

The Education Committee has many different projects, involving volunteers from around the world in the areas of curriculum studies, resources for educators, and SIGGRAPH conference related activities. The Education Committee is always soliciting new ideas and volunteers to implement the ideas.

Project Grants

The Project Grants Program has been discontinued for the upcoming fiscal year due to strategic endeavours worldwide. ACM SIGGRAPH hopes to reinstate this program when we are able, and with the generous support of our membership. In past years, the Project Grants Committee sought new and innovative projects that were of benefit to the SIGGRAPH membership and to the computer graphics community. The program funded many small, interesting projects as well as seeded large non-commercial projects. Proposals that supported ACM SIGGRAPH's strategic plan were given the highest priority.

Public Policy

The SIGGRAPH Public Policy Program is no longer active, but the web site will remain online for archival and information purposes.

Traveling Art Show

The ACM SIGGRAPH Traveling Art Show program was discontinued in 2005. These Art Gallery links are for archival purposes to show the pieces that traveled. The ACM SIGGRAPH Traveling Art Show helps expose people around the world to the art collected at the SIGGRAPH annual conference's art shows. Each year's show is a subset of the art gallery exhibited at the conference. The TAS travels for two years after the completion of the conference, stopping at universities, festivals, and museums among other locations.

Volunteering

Hundreds of volunteers participate yearly to plan and implement the two annual SIGGRAPH conferences. The conferences are sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH, a not-for-profit organization. These pages provide general information about conference committee structure, position descriptions, and volunteer requirements. We are always looking for capable, enthusiastic, and committed people who wish to contribute their vision, industry knowledge, and energy to the most exciting annual event in the computer graphics industry!
