LAF 39th Annual Benefit
Join the Landscape Architecture Foundation and leaders from practice, academia, and industry for a lively evening in a signature DC space that blends classical and contemporary.
Catch up with friends and make new connections in the stunning, glass-ceilinged Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard, an award-winning space in the center of the National Historic Landmark building shared by the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum. The landscape design by GGN unites the classical building character and the contemporary undulating glass canopy designed by Foster + Partners.
The benefit will recognize the exceptional students named as 2024 LAF Olmsted Scholars and celebrate the transformative work made possible by LAF's many friends, partners, and supporters.
Tickets to this reception-style event include fine food and an open bar with all proceeds supporting LAF and its key programs and initiatives.
