Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Modernism Week — a vibrant festival dedicated to Mid Century modern architecture, art and design!
Organize a private or group tour of iconic homes, take a double-decker bus ride for a different perspective, and peruse exhibitions that showcase the unique MCM aesthetic of the Palm Springs area of Southern California.
Highlighting Mid Century Modern architecture, art, interior design, landscape design and vintage culture, the annual 11-day festival features more than 350 tours and events. A portion of ticket sales benefit Modernism Week (a non-profit organization) and other local preservation groups.
After immersing yourself in modernism culture, head home to your private short-term accommodation at The Desert Shack—a serene oasis offering comfort and seclusion. The Desert Shack’s prime location provides easy access to events while allowing you to unwind amidst the natural beauty of the desert and mountains all around you. Soak in the salt water spa and stargaze. Or sit around the firepit and discuss all that you experienced that day.
