Grace Home Gallery Opening & Arthur Elrod Book Signing
Monday, February 18, 2-4pm

It’s time for us to unveil our new 2019 collection of mid-century photography! To celebrate we are hosting a book signing with Adele Cygelman, author of “Arthur Elrod: Desert Modern Design.” This new work is the first monograph about Arthur Elrod, design king of the desert in the 1950s,’60s, and ’70s. Arthur Elrod was the most successful interior designer working in the Palm Springs area from 1954 to 1974. He was charming, handsome, and worked tirelessly for his A-list clientele, such as Lucille Ball and Walt Disney. Perhaps his most famous work was done in his own home, known as the Elrod House in Palm Springs, built by architect John Lautner in 1968.

This is a free event!

Profits from our events will go directly to Modernism Week which provides scholarships to local students pursuing college educations in the fields of architecture and design; as well as supporting local and state preservation organizations and neighborhood groups in their efforts to preserve modernist architecture throughout the state of California.
