Modern Women: Female Influencers who shaped Palm Springs

This exhibition is a tribute to the women who have played key roles in the development, promotion, and conservation of Modern Architecture in Palm Springs.

Combining archival documents with contemporary images and oral testimonies, this exhibition highlights the multidimensional contributions of female practitioners and influencers in the field. Through a series of portraits, the exhibition examines the impact of women in essential roles that bring architecture to life: as patrons, architects, interior designers, scholars, and conservationists. In doing so, Modern Women offers a nuanced perspective on architectural history and its interconnected disciplines, illuminating the many facets of this influential era.

All Palm Springs Art Museum members are invited to an exclusive member reception on May 23, 2025.
