Hamilton Building
Friday, October 3, 2008
6:30pm - 10:30pm


Join the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) for a delightful evening of art and architecture benefiting the LAF Olmsted Scholarship Program, at the newly refurbished Hamilton Building.

This award winning space, built in 1915 as an automobile showroom, is now home to the Academy's extraordinary collection of post-War American artwork. The museum gallery is also filled with a wonderful collection of great American artists, including paintings and sculpture from students and teachers stretching over the 125 years of the Academy's history.

Guests will enter through beautifully sculptured iron gates before ascending the grand floating staircase to the gallery floor. Light, airy, window-filled galleries bring the city sites indoors, connecting the exciting energy of downtown Philadelphia with the serene modern design of the museum.

Relax with colleagues, friends, and the present and future leaders of the landscape architecture community while enjoying great food, drink, and art. Docents will be available to take guests on tours through the galleries and student artists from other famous Philadelphia conservatoires will perform symphonic music throughout the evening.

Admission is $190 per person. To purchase tickets or explore sponsorship opportunities, please email rfigura@lafoundation.org
