Bulfinch Awards

The 2024 Bulfinch Awards ceremony will be held November 9, 2024 at the Harvard Club in Boston, MA.

The New England Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art is pleased to announce its Thirteenth Bulfinch Awards. Named for Boston architect Charles Bulfinch (1763-1844), America’s first native-born architect and the designer of the Massachusetts State House, the awards recognize the best work of individuals and firms to preserve and advance the classical tradition in New England.

The Bulfinch Awards are hosted by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art New England Chapter (ĂŰĚŇ´ŤĂ˝app New England) and recognize practitioners from across the nation who are committed to promoting excellence in the classical tradition and allied arts within New England. All eligible projects work toward building upon the legacy of Boston's early Federal architect, Charles Bulfinch. Initiated in 2010 and modeled on the ĂŰĚŇ´ŤĂ˝app’s Arthur Ross Awards, the New England Bulfinch Awards program is an annual competition.
