Hang out with us at CAMP, your one-stop shop for all things Modernism Week.
CAMP (Community and Meeting Place) is Modernism Week’s central hub, where modernists can stop by for information, buy event tickets, listen to talks, hop on a bus tour, catch demos, grab a bite, hang out at the lounge, pick up souvenirs at the Modernism Week Shop, and rest between events. CAMP will be open February 14-23, 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 575 N Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262.
