Programs and Sponsorship Opportunities for 2026:

Landslide® in Action 2026—Coming Soon

Oberlander Prize Forums: As part of The Cornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Architecture Prize, a global biennial honor with a $100,000 award, TCLF will curate both in-person and virtual Oberlander Prize Forums, following the announcement in October 2025 of Mexico City-based landscape architect Mario Schjetnan, and the firm he founded and leads, Grupo de Diseño Urbano (GDU) as the next laureate, to raise the visibility of the honoree’s work and of landscape architecture more broadly. In 2026 TCLF will host virtual Soak It Up forums featuring international leaders in landscape architecture with richly produced speaker presentations followed by a live online discussion on this topic.

What’s Out There® Weekends: Hosted in different cities every year, What’s Out There Weekends bring to light the unique landscape legacy and local character of each city as reflected by its publicly accessible parks, gardens, plazas, cemeteries, memorials, and neighborhoods. Engaging large and diverse audiences (typically 1,000+), this program offers two days of free, expert-led tours of more than two dozen sites that demonstrate the region’s diverse landscape legacy, encouraging participants to discover the little-known design history of places they may pass every day.

Garden Dialogues: Garden Dialogues bring together landscape architects and their clients to discuss the creative process, the give and take, and the collaboration that yields a great garden. This unique program offers small groups the opportunity to experience some of today’s most beautiful gardens created by some of the most accomplished landscape architects and designers currently in practice. 

Pioneers of Landscape Design Oral History Project: Pioneers Oral Histories is an ever-growing, award-winning series of videotaped first-person interviews with significant practitioners. Now featuring nineteen oral histories, the series examines each designer’s personal and professional history, their overall design philosophy, and how that approach was carried out in their most emblematic projects. The richly edited video segments include never-before-seen archival footage, new photography, and on‐location videography.

This year's oral histories include:

Cultural Landscapes Guide to African American Landscapes: Published in February 2024, this guide now features nearly 200 African American cultural landscapes throughout the U.S., spanning centuries of American history and prehistory. Multiple themes are explored, including enslavement, reconstruction, the racial segregation of public accommodations (including parks and schools), civil rights history, and commemoration. The digital guide aims to raise the visibility and value of these myriad sites, provoking further discussion and research. The guide simultaneously amplifies the contributions of African American designers and shapers who have significantly contributed to landscapes across the nation. The content is folded into TCLF’s What’s Out There database, which includes pages for more than 2,700 sites, 1,400 biographies, and 14,000 images, all vetted by researchers and historians. Each entry includes a description of the site’s design history, photographs, and an interactive map. With additional support, TCLF aspires to constantly expand this guide.

Annual Excursion at the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Conference on Landscape Architecture: Los Angeles. Sites included on the excursion will be announced in Spring 2026.

Reception at the ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture: Los Angeles. In concert with ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture 2026 and TCLF’s Annual Excursion, TCLF will host a reception (a separately ticketed event from the excursion). Additional details to be announced in Spring 2026. 

Silent Auction: Held in conjunction with the ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture, TCLF's annual silent auction features approximately 90 items, including rare books and pieces of art created by landscape architects, architects, artists, photographers, and others. Auction proceeds benefit TCLF’s education and advocacy initiatives. Commensurate with sponsorship level, you have the opportunity to include your logo or name on the event web-page and the online bidding site, and more.

The Landscape Architecture of Lawrence Halprin: A traveling photographic exhibition about one of America's most important and influential Modernist landscape architects curated by TCLF, the exhibition features 56 commissioned photographs by leading landscape photographers of dozens of Halprin’s major works, including the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, D.C.; the Los Angeles Open Space Network; and Plaza Las Fuentes in Pasadena.
