Black designers, builders and developers helped shape Palm Springs and Southern California for over a century. We’ll be exploring this legacy during “Stories Untold: Black Modernists in Southern California” – a three-part symposium presented by Room & Board, featuring top designers, community leaders, and more.
This Monday is also all about Marcel – Marcel Breuer, that is! Learn about the iconic architect-designer during two compelling presentations and a documentary film.
