History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

MODERNISM WEEK ANNOUNCES THE GLAMOROUS RIVIERA PALM SPRINGS AS

Palm Springs CA (September 9 2010) -- Modernism Week has announced the ultra

chic Riviera Palm Springs resort as the Hospitality Sponsor for the 2011 Palm Springs

Modernism Week (February 17 - 27 2011)

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

and welcoming headquarters for the ever-growing crowds of locals and modernism

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

For over 50 years Riviera Palm Springs has continued its legacy as a glamorous

outpost for celebrity power houses Bob Hope Frank Sinatra Dean Martin Elvis Presley and

countless luminaries celebrating the good life in Rivierarsquos relaxed ambiance Today the

landmark resort is being discovered by new generations of discerning guests who revel in

Rivierarsquos swank Hollywood glam motif expansive pool areas and gracious hospitality ldquoWe

are delighted to welcome Riviera Palm Springs as a new partner serving as our Modernism

Week headquartersrdquo said Modernism Week board chair Jacques Caussin ldquoRiviera will be

the host site for many of our events which are sure to be fun and memorable in this

spectacular settingrdquo

Riviera Palm Springs reopened in 2008 after a $70 million modernization reclaiming

its iconic status and reputation as one of Palm Springsrsquo premier resorts With 406 rooms the

centerpiece of the resort is the enormous pool area with private cabanas outdoor fire pits

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

and welcoming headquarters for the ever-growing crowds of locals and modernism

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

For over 50 years Riviera Palm Springs has continued its legacy as a glamorous

landmark resort is being discovered by new generations of discerning guests who revel in

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Palm Springs CA (September 9 2010) -- Modernism Week has announced the ultra

Modernism Week (February 17 - 27 2011)

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

and welcoming headquarters for the ever-growing crowds of locals and modernism

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

For over 50 years Riviera Palm Springs has continued its legacy as a glamorous

countless luminaries celebrating the good life in Rivierarsquos relaxed ambiance Today the

landmark resort is being discovered by new generations of discerning guests who revel in

are delighted to welcome Riviera Palm Springs as a new partner serving as our Modernism

Week headquartersrdquo said Modernism Week board chair Jacques Caussin ldquoRiviera will be

the host site for many of our events which are sure to be fun and memorable in this

spectacular settingrdquo

Riviera Palm Springs reopened in 2008 after a $70 million modernization reclaiming

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Palm Springs CA (September 9 2010) -- Modernism Week has announced the ultra

Modernism Week (February 17 - 27 2011)

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

and welcoming headquarters for the ever-growing crowds of locals and modernism

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

For over 50 years Riviera Palm Springs has continued its legacy as a glamorous

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Palm Springs CA (September 9 2010) -- Modernism Week has announced the ultra

Modernism Week (February 17 - 27 2011)

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

and welcoming headquarters for the ever-growing crowds of locals and modernism

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

For over 50 years Riviera Palm Springs has continued its legacy as a glamorous

landmark resort is being discovered by new generations of discerning guests who revel in

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

Originally opened in 1959 the 24-acre Riviera Palm Springs will serve as the stylish

enthusiasts who travel from around the world to attend Modernism Week 2011

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

History of Palm Springs Modernism Week

What is now an international event began with a simple idea to augment the two-day Modernism Show with more reasons to celebrate modernism

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events

And we have more good news for Modernism Week 2010 We are proud to welcome two major Modernism Week Partners -- the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the California Preservation Foundation This collaboration and affiliation with these prestigious entities will provide Modernism Week enormous validation and help extend our reach to a new following of historic preservationists cultural resource professionals as well as fun-seeking modernists The 5th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Week February 12-21 2010 is destined to be both a milestone and a new benchmark for a stylish celebration of all things ldquomodernrdquo

See you in Palm Springs

The Palm Springs Modernism Show was first showcased in 2001 It followed a history of Modernism shows around the country that had begun in New York City in 1985 Soon after the Miami Modernism Show followed in 1994 heralding the rediscovery of the cityrsquos Art Deco architecture in South Beach That discovery helped reinvent the city as a hot and trendy destination for architecture aficionados

Fueled most notably by national and international media a similar pattern emerged in Palm Springs Working with Dolphin Promotions Jacques Caussin who is now Board Chair of Modernism Week started the Palm Springs Modernism Show in 2001 and it has steadily grown in stature since in its inception Now in its 9th year the Palm Springs Modernism Show held at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become one of the countryrsquos premier marketplaces for national and international modernist decorative and fine arts

The Palm Springs Art Museum began hosting its popular annual architecture symposium and home tour in 1999 which helped spark the appreciation for Palm Springs architecture The Museumrsquos efforts to shine a light on the cityrsquos renowned mid-century modern architects such as E Stewart Williams Albert Frey John Porter Clark John Lautner Don Wexler and Bill Krisel among others continued to fan interest in the cityrsquos astonishing concentration of mid-century architecture

The growing interest in our mid-century modern architecture resulted in wide national and international media attention Initially much of the media reports centered on the remarkably exacting restoration of the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs Eventually the media discovered the Kaufmann House was only one of hundreds important and architecturally-significant structures in Palm Springs

While Palm Springs has long enjoyed worldwide fame as a celebrity haven and an international vacation destination it began attracting a new tourism niche for architecture buffs Its mid-century modern architecture squarely put Palm Springs on the map for cultural tourism as well as fun in the sun

The confluence of these factors helped create the ideal timing and climate for a week-long celebration of modernism in Palm Springs Thus in 2006 the first Palm Springs Modernism Week was born to promote and celebrate the ideals and culture of modernism Through the efforts of a steering committee of devoted community leaders comprised of the Architecture and Design Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum the Palm Springs Modern Committee the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation and the Palm Springs Historical Society they planned and implemented the first Modernism

Week following the Modernism Show It featured a week of lectures architecture tours films and glamorously ldquomodrdquo receptions

From its humble beginnings Modernism Week has continued to grow exponentially from a week to ten days of events As the variety and sophistication of events has continued to grow a greater number of people from around the globe are drawn to join us in this celebration which has fueled a robust ldquomod-tourismrdquo niche in Palm Springs People have been known to travel from Australia and Europe to participate in Modernism Week

Modernism Week has firmly established Palm Springs as the worldrsquos mecca of modernism resulting in public awareness that has helped preserve the distinctive architecture which has so prominently defined Palm Springsrsquo unique character

In the summer of 2009 Modernism Week grew from a steering committee to its own registered non-profit organization Its new board of directors working with a Modernism Week executive director is committed to producing fun and interesting events that will inspire and engage new and longtime modernism aficionados Check the schedule of events for a full listing of the Modernism Week events
