The time has come to close out another successful year for our local chapter.

Please join us for a night of festivities, photography, and food. On November 30th at the Artists for Humanity EpiCenter from 6-9pm, we look forward to celebrating the year’s accomplishments, impressive work and volunteerism of our members, support of this year’s chapter sponsors, and doing it all while dressed in our winter’s finest cocktail attire.

The second annual winter gala is open to members, non-members, NOMAS students, and students as an opportunity to support NOMA's mission of minority leadership and growth in the AEC industry.

Event Information

Silent Art Auction

The 2023 Gala venue, the Artists for Humanity EpiCenter, is built on the philosophy that engagement in the creative process is a powerful force for social change, and that creative entrepreneurship is a productive and life-changing opportunity for young people. Therefore, we are excited to feature a silent auction this year in support of local artists! We pride ourselves on apprecating our membership and allowing for opportunities to showcase their skills, talents, and abilities even outside of architecture.

  • Ryan Horton is an artist from Lilburn, GA based in Boston, MA driven by curiosity of expression. As a black man living in America, Ryan has always been taught to conform to survive in environments that were never meant for him. Because of this, throughout Ryan’s professional career he strives to push the boundaries of acceptance and expectations.

    With his Master's in Architecture from Northeastern University and a Bachelor's of Fine Arts from Savannah College of Art & Design, Ryan has been exposed to a number of creative methods and mediums that have pushed his passion to not only create but breathe purpose into his works. Utilizing his structured architectural foundation and the raw understanding of aesthetic purity, he has been able to explore multiple industries such including architecture, experiential design, and graphic design. He now focuses on fine-tuning his expertise to accommodate his art career. Ryan has been showcased in a number of exhibitions, international art fairs, and a museum. His work is on display now in Boston City Hall in the Mayors Office and MIT’s Koch Institute Public Gallery. He has also has been featured in a number of art publications including Artist Talk, New Visionary Magazine, and the upcoming issue of Create! Magazine.

    As his art career continues to unfold, Ryan’s focuses on furthering his exploration of self through the freedom of artistic expression via mix media.
