8th BSA Design Awards Gala

The 8th BSA Design Awards Gala will be held on January 17, 2019 at BSA Space, 290 Congress Street, Boston. Hundreds of industry professionals gathered for a cocktail reception to celebrate the 2018 design award winners.

The BSA Design Awards Gala is the design community's best and highest celebration of great design and the people who create it. As always, the Gala provides ample opportunity for networking and connecting with architects, designers, developers, builders, and other top industry professionals. There will be a cocktail party for this black tie event at BSA Space, which will also host an exhibition celebrating the year's design award-winning projects.

The party will include hors d'oeuvres, multiple bars, and hours of time to network, mingle, and toast the winning firms and projects. Interested in sponsoring the Gala? Learn more or email msalvatierra@architects.org.
