Celebration of Architecture
 Call for Sponsorship

This years Celebration of Architecture Gala will be taking place at the Fisher Performing Arts Center, located at Bard College and designed by Frank Gehry.  This example of exciting, new architecture in our region will be serving as the center piece of this year’s event.

The program will start in the late afternoon with a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility, lead by the project architect from Gehry Partners, LLP, as well as Bard College representatives.  A CEU credit panel discussion and question and answer session will follow the tour.  A cocktail hour in the dynamic lobby space with live musical entertainment will be followed by the awards program presentation in the main concert hall.

As always, all chapter members, as well as architects with projects in our chapter area, are encouraged to submit their work for this year’s awards program.

The Celebration of Architecture committee is making a call for sponsorship to anyone who might be interested in supporting this fantastic Gala in a special way, by being one of that night’s sponsors.  Possible donors might include, but are not limited to, chapter members, local construction product and design vendors, engineering firms, construction companies, and Architectural firms.  Most importantly, we are making a call for sponsorship to any and all that might be interested in, or take part in, making Architecture and the built environment, a meaningful and integral part of society here in our region.

Anyone interested in sponsoring the Celebration of Architecture Gala and awards should contact our chapter’s executive director Valerie A. Brown, Hon. AIA/NYS 914-232-7240, aiawmh@optonline.net
