The Last Exhibit

Students from Bend and LaPine will be sharing their Architects in Schools learning with parents and friends on Friday, June 3, at Franklin Crossing and the Bend-LaPine School Administration Building, from 5:30-8:30pm.

afo has hosted a whirlwind of student exhibits over the past month in Portland, Eugene, Ashland and Salem. The photos above are from one of five exhibits in Portland. Our friends in Bend open the final AiS exhibit for this year – a culmination of work by 3,800 young people, their teachers and volunteer design professionals throughout Oregon. Congratulations to all for an amazing feat!
