A tour of the nearly completed renovation of Veterans Memorial Auditorium will highlight the Iowa Architectural Foundation’s third annual “Secrets of Great Places” Landmark Party and fund-raiser on Sept. 28.

Guests will have the opportunity to view the facility’s transformation months before the historic center reopens to the public. During the event at Wells Fargo Arena, participants can also socialize, enjoy hors d’oeuvres and drinks, and bid on unique silent auction items, including original Veterans Memorial Auditorium bricks.

All proceeds will benefit the Iowa Architectural Foundation and its educational and outreach programs. Tickets are $35 in advance or $40 at the door and are available at the foundation office, 400 Locust St., Suite 100, or online through Red Truck Tickets.
