California's 2x8 architecture student exhibition & scholarship celebrates its 20th anniversary tonight in Los Angeles

Architecture for Communities Los Angeles (ACLA) and AIA Los Angeles’ 2x8 exhibition of student work from throughout California is celebrating the launch of its 20th edition this year with a special ceremony held today, May 2nd, from 6 to 8 pm in historic West Adams.

A total of 20 schools are participating in the exhibition, with 40 projects vying to win its juried competition. Organizers share: “Last year, we were able to raise a total of $30,000! This allowed us to award merit-based scholarships to 11 winning student projects. For our 20th Anniversary, we’d like to match, if not surpass, last year’s amazing fundraising efforts and are aiming to provide as much support as we can for our aspiring student participants.”

The ceremony helps support the scholarship program that is part of the exhibition, meant to introduce the work of students in different architecture programs to the outside public and AEC industry. 

You can RSVP here to attend tonight’s ceremony, which is taking place at the new AIA|LA + ACLA Center for Communities at 4450 W Adams Blvd in Los Angeles.
