The Palm Springs Modernism Fall Show is part of an extended "Mini-Modernism Week" that includes more than 50 different events over four days. The goal of this gathering in California, USA, is to celebrate and promote an appreciation of mid-century architecture and design, as well as contemporary thinking in these fields, by encouraging education, preservation, and sustainable modern living as represented in the greater Palm Springs area. The fall show is complemented by a larger 11-day winter and spring festival featuring more than 350 events, including the Palm Springs Modernism Show, which is always a highlight of these weeks.
The fall edition of Palm Springs Modernism features 50 premier national exhibitors offering items representing all 20th century design movements and showcasing 21st century design. This popular event is a more intimate version of the annual Palm Springs Modernism Show and Sale held in February. It is a combination of vintage 20th-century design and introduces original, limited-edition 21st-century design, and all items are for sale. Anyone interested in design from these eras will feel right at home at these shows.
More than just a shopping opportunity, Palm Springs Modernism embodies a true spirit of design celebration. To underscore this, a festive Opening Night Party and Early Buying Preview Reception will be held the evening before the show opens. It offers attendees a cocktail reception and an exclusive "sneak peek" (and the chance to be the first to shop) at the Modernism Show and Sale before it opens to the public.
Palm Springs Modernism is a weekend event. There is an admission fee, but it is payable only once and a ticket includes return admission for the entire weekend. General admission tickets do not include admission to the opening night party - this is an additional cost if you want the privilege of an early preview and the first chance to purchase some of the incredible items on display.
Once in Palm Springs, why not take advantage of the opportunity to explore other antique-focused attractions? For example, the Palm Springs Vintage Market is held on the first Saturday of every month from October through May. It's a monthly haven for lovers of all things retro and vintage, with about 100 vendors. Also not to be missed is the Palm Springs Antique District, which offers an eclectic array of shops along the sidewalks of Palm Canyon Drive and adjacent streets.
