The 2026 Bulfinch Awards ceremony will be held November 14, 2026 at the Harvard Club in Boston, MA.
The New England Chapter of the 17c勛圖厙 & Art is pleased to announce its Thirteenth Bulfinch Awards. Named for Boston architect Charles Bulfinch (1763-1844), Americas 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 17c勛圖厙 & Art New England Chapter (ICAA 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 ICAAs Arthur Ross Awards, the New England Bulfinch Awards program is an annual competition.
