Modernism

When the signage for the Bank of America building on South Palm Canyon Drive came down, some locals feared the worst. Well, worry not — the move was for all the right reasons.

Some of the funds raised will be spent by neighborhood organizations in the city to reinvest in architectural restoration, infrastructure, or landscape improvements.

The new head of the organization has worked with Modernism Week since its inception in 2005 when she first volunteered.

Looking for a low-cost or no-cost Modernism Week event? Organizers said this week they’ve got you covered.

Modernism Week’s CAMP (“Community And Meeting Place”) will provide a central hub for the event, planned for Feb. 18-27. For the first time, it will be located in the spacious atrium-style lobby of the Hyatt Palm Springs.

Black designers, builders, and developers helped shape Palm Springs and Southern California for over a century. Modernism Week hosts a three-part symposium on this legacy.
