LAF 39th Annual Benefit
With over 600 guests and 26 generous sponsors, this sold-out event was an unforgettable evening with the deeper purpose of supporting LAF and its key programs and initiatives.
LAF's 39th Annual Benefit was held on October 6, 2024 in the Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard in the center of the National Historic Landmark building shared by the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum in Washington, DC.
Guests enjoyed catching up and making new connections over food and drinks in the stunning, GGN-designed space beneath the undulating glass canopy designed by Foster + Partners. Thank you to all who attended!
The event recognized the exceptional students named as 2024 LAF Olmsted Scholars and celebrated the transformative work made possible by LAF's many friends, partners, and supporters.

The LAF Annual Benefit is always a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and make new connections. Attendees include well-known designers, rising leaders, professors, suppliers, emerging professionals, and students. The short program allows plenty of time for introductions and interaction.
With over 600 attendees, a signature venue, and live sounds from B_X_R_N_X_R_D, the 2024 Annual Benefit was a spirited evening. From long-time supporters to first-time attendees, we enjoyed catching up with the LAF community and celebrating all we've accomplished together.
