Exhibition Opening- Art by Architects 2025

Join us to celebrate the opening of our latest exhibition, Art by Architects 2025. 

Art by Architects 2025 is an exciting exhibition that highlights art created by local architects, architecture students, chapter members, and others in the community who have a passion for architecture. 

On view through April 2025, this exhibition displays a variety of art mediums, included but not limited to paintings, digital works, photographs, furniture, sketches, and 3-dimensional pieces. This multi-medium exhibition showcases how architects are not confined to just building design but have the capacity to create exquisite works of art that demonstrate their individual creativity and innovation. Art by Architects encourages the viewer to celebrate the creative synergy between these two disciplines and discover how architecture can inspire profound artistic exploration.

We welcome your presence at this opening and invite you to navigate through the wide range of artwork featured. Drinks and light snacks will be served.
