BOSTON— BSA Space’s 7th Annual Gingerbread Design Competition and Exhibition is displaying masterful sweet renditions by local architecture firms from Boston and elsewhere in Massachusetts.
This year, nine teams are exploring the theme: “Rep your arch’ style” inspiring participants to create Gingerbread structures interpreting their favorite architectural style.
Visitors can feast their eyes on the whimsical creations from December 10-31, 2018 at BSA Space, and then vote for their favorites at gingerbread.architects.org. The exhibition is free and open Monday through Friday, 10am–6pm, weekends and holidays 10am–5pm.
The Gingerbread Design Competition and Exhibition is sponsored by the Boston CDRC and the BSA Foundation, both 501c(3) nonprofit organizations.
