2016 BLEND Award Celebration at the Fulton Brewery

For the fourth straight year, the BLEND & EcoBLEND Award Ceremony was held at Fulton Brewery.  It was a fun night, celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the BLEND Awards, as well as honoring the great work of architects & builders in Minneapolis.

The keynote speaker was photographer Michael Evangelist, who shared photos from his Downtown: Minneapolis in the 70's book and provided a glimpse of how we lived then and how the landscape of Minneapolis has changed over the decades...not to mention a stroll down memory lane. 

​Check out the slideshow for a glimpse of the fun.

​Congratulations to the recipients of BLEND & EcoBLEND Awards and thanks to our 2016 sponsors!
