Programs and Sponsorship Opportunities for 2025:

Landslide® in Action: Demonstration Grounds is the latest annual thematic report and digital exhibition in TCLF’s ongoing series, which began in 2004. However, this is the first time the program has not focused on threatened landscapes and landscape features. Instead, attention is directed at thirteen sites across the country that have hosted significant protests; the protests are at risk of being forgotten. The stories associated with each are illuminating and inspiring, yet many are at-risk of fading from public memory. With critical support, TCLF will produce a series of virtual webinars and in-person guided tours to highlight the sites and the watershed events associated with each site.

Oberlander Prize Forums: As part of The Cornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Architecture Prize, TCLF will curate both in-person and virtual Oberlander Prize Forums following the announcement of the Laureate to raise the visibility of the honoree’s work and of landscape architecture more broadly. This year’s major flooding events in the U.S., Europe, and Asia highlight the vital role of landscape architecture in addressing climate change. Oberlander Prize laureate Kongjian Yu, a pioneer of the “sponge cities” approach to urban flooding, continues to attract global attention for his contributions to resilient urban design. In 2025 TCLF will host a virtual international event 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 seventeen 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 Landscape Guide to African American Landscapes: Published in February 2024 this guide features more than 150 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 habitually expand this guide.

Annual Excursion at the ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture: New Orleans. Sites included on the excursion will be announced in Spring 2025

Reception at the ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture. In concert with the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Conference on Landscape Architecture 2025 and TCLF’s Annual Excursion, TCLF will host a reception. Additional details to be announced in Spring 2025. 

Silent Auction: Held in conjunction with the ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture, TCLF's annual silent auction features approximately 90 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 Legacy of Dan Kiley: A traveling photographic exhibition about one of America's most important and influential Modernist landscape architects curated by TCLF, the exhibition features nearly 50 commissioned photographs of 27 of Kiley’s more than 1,000 designs including: the Miller House and Garden, Columbus, IN; the Art Institute of Chicago South Garden, IL; and the Ford Foundation Atrium, New York, N.Y.
