Each February, the American Architectural Foundation in association with the American Institute of Architects presents the Accent on Architecture Gala. This black-tie gala is the nation’s preeminent celebration of architecture and design.

Accent on Architecture is typically held in the Great Hall of the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., and is an opportunity to pause and honor the best and brightest that America has to offer in the field of architecture and design. Over 1000 national and international guests, from many fields of endeavor, attend the gala. Guests are treated to a formal dinner and hear speakers present internationally recognized awards of achievement, including the AIA Gold Medal, Architecture Firm Award, and Twenty-Five Year Award and the American Architectural Foundation’s prestigious Keystone Award. AAF and AIA leadership also report on achievements and upcoming initiatives.

Attending and sponsoring Accent on Architecture clearly identifies you or your organization as a partner committed to increasing public awareness about the importance of design and its impact on the built environment. Please note that your contribution directly supports the nonprofit educational initiatives and programs of the American Architectural Foundation.

We look forward to warmly welcoming you to this special celebration of design excellence!
