Webraising Group Shot

What is WebRaising?

Webraising is an event organized by The Art Institute of Atlanta. Students, faculty, and staff of the college join to build web sites for local non-profit organizations in Atlanta, GA. The Webraising concept came from the idea of raising a barn, where a community came together to raise a barn in a day. Originally, the web sites were built and raised in an eight-hour period. The event has evolved over time and now takes a several weeks to plan and build.
