The Palm Springs Modern Committee participates to promote and maintain the heritage of mid-century modern architecture and design. Year long, they serve as a resource for residents and nonresidents who identify and appreciate mid-century modern style. They also rally supporters to preserve significant buildings in the Palm Springs area.
Finally, the Palm Springs Modernism Show hosts a large number of decorative and fine arts dealers known nationally and around the world. The show, held at the Palm Springs Convention Center will also include vintage mid-century furniture, art, and furnishings available for purchase. It is truly a mecca for anyone who appreciates this style. Whether you want to stay at an authentic mid-century modern hotel, buy something for your home, or come to learn, this is the place to meet and greet other folks who live and love modernism. So grab your martini glass and visit Palm Springs. This image here at left is from the Modernism website and promotes a cocktail party being hosted at the former Twin Palm's estate of Frank Sinatra. I've been to this home many times for various events, it is a marvelous example of mid-century modern style-complete with a swimming pool shaped like a piano. I'll try to share another post on the events of this week, so stay tuned!

Palm Springs certainly has a lot of these Mid Century Modern Homes....I LOVE Palm Springs, Rick...Mostly for the Weather and the beauty of those mountains---especially the way the shadows fall on them as the sun moves around in the late afternoon...!

Sometimes I think Palm Springs inhabits a different planet, nay, a different universe even.
I am sure if I saw it in real life I will be awed and nonplussed, and will leave shaking my head in wonder.
