LAF 40th Annual Benefit

Gallier Hall in New Orleans, featuring a historical marker plaque for Lafayette Square in the foreground. The grand neoclassical building has tall columns and a triangular pediment.

Join the Landscape Architecture Foundation and leaders from practice, academia, and industry for a lively evening in an iconic New Orleans landmark.

Located on Lafayette Square, the second-oldest public park in the city, Gallier Hall served as the New Orleans City Hall for over a century and continues to be an important space for civic and cultural events. An exemplar of Greek Revival architecture, this National Historic Landmark building with its elegant ballrooms serves as the perfect backdrop to catch up with friends and make new connections.

The benefit will 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.
