Search for Shelter clients from throughout Minnesota use the designs they receive to obtain further project funding, to promote their organization, and to serve as preliminary development and/or building plans.
The 2027 Search for Shelter event will take place February 20-27.
Sign up to volunteer! Practicing architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and students of all levels of experience are welcome to participate in this exciting event.
