Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy

Introducing our 2026 Wright Spirit Award 
& Conservancy Award Honorees

We are pleased to announce four Wright Spirit Awards and two Conservancy Awards for 2026.

This year’s honorees include stewards of private homes in Phoenix and the Chicago area, the curator of an important archival collection, and attorneys who have made critical contributions to our work. They are recognized for their extraordinary commitment to preserving the built works of Frank Lloyd Wright, enriching his legacy, and helping the Conservancy carry out its mission.

We will present the awards on November 7 during the gala at our annual conference in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Key federal historic preservation tool threatened

Changes to the Section 106 review process could undermine federal protections for historic buildings, including those designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Final reminder: Reisley Grant letters of inquiry due by August 31

Grants fund projects exploring the sensory and experiential qualities of Wright's architecture. One grant will be awarded for 2026.
