On Sunday, October 23, 2022, Rice Design Alliance hosted "Celebrate RDA". Co-chaired by Scott and Judy Nyquist, the event celebrated the last 50 years of RDA. Through its creative programming, publications, and community engagement efforts—including the award-winning journal Cite, celebrating its 40th anniversary this year—RDA has made significant contributions to architectural discourse in Houston and strives to make Houston a better place for all.  RDA aslo kicked-off the year's programming theme, Texas Is Urban, celebrating the urbanity, diversity, and dynamism of Houston and other cities in the Texas region.
 
RDA is grateful to all of the generous supporters who made the event a success.  Gala proceeds provide funding for RDA’s programming and publications that aim to make architecture and design more accessible.
