Location: Heard Museum, North Central Avenue, Phoenix

The AIA Arizona Design Awards Gala is the state chapter’s annual awards evening, bringing together architects, firm leaders and allied professionals from across Arizona. The 2026 gala is on Saturday 14 November at the Heard Museum at 2301 North Central Avenue in Phoenix, running from 5.30pm to 10pm. It is an in-person, ticketed event open to members and guests.
The evening recognises design excellence across multiple project categories, and the chapter will also honour an Arizona Medal recipient and a Firm of the Year. Member recognition includes the AIA10 honours along with awards for Associate and Allied members. Tickets are sold through Eventbrite, with early bird pricing available until 27 October only.
For architects in Phoenix, the gala is the annual record of which Arizona practices and projects the chapter considers its best work. The Heard Museum’s courtyard campus on Central Avenue is also a setting worth seeing in its own right.
