Category: Festivals, special events and Fundraisers

After a long wait, we are thrilled to announce that the 2022 AIA East Tennessee Design Awards Gala will be held in person on at Lakeshore Park’s Marble Hall in Knoxville, TN.

In the spirit of the “new normal”, AIA ETN will be approaching this year’s design awards gala through a lens of reconnection and strengthened community. Therefore, we will be opening the design awards gala attendance to members and non-members alike. We hope this will provide a platform for both renewed and new relationships while extending our architectural community’s public outreach through this important event.

We are excited to host Dave Mayo, AIA of Studio Mayo as this year’s design awards Jury Chair. Through Dave’s past and current work, he brings with him a thoughtful, inventive, and regionally specific rigor that we welcome for this year’s design awards.
