“Ten years ago, we first offered our wildly popular Palm Springs Modernism Show during the Fall Modernism Week Festival,” said Rosemary Krieger, President of Dolphin Promotions. “What began as a small event in 2014 has now grown into a much-anticipated annual event itself and is beloved by attendees and dealers alike. The marriage of vintage 20th-century items with 21st-century designs has proven to be very successful and offers a wider appeal to our supporters in the Coachella Valley. We are thrilled to once again play a major role in Modernism Week – October.”
