Join Us for Out and About Wright Wright & Mid-Century Modern in Minneapolis, May 1-2, 2010
Please join the Conservancy as we celebrate the arrival of spring in this cosmopolitan, culture-filled city. Our first Out and About Wright event of 2010 will begin at the Minneapolis Hotel, in the dynamic downtown, just off a light rail connection to the airport. Lucky participants will venture around town and into suburban lake-side settings as they visit sensational works of mid-century architecture, touring inside and out, thanks to the graciousness of their respective owners. Most of these houses are seldom open to the public, so this is an opportunity not to be missed!
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BUILDING CONSERVANCY HELPS SECURE COLLECTION OF WRIGHT MATERIALS AT AUCTION
Working in close cooperation, The Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy and The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation have ensured the purchase at auction of a major collection of photographs and drawings of Wright buildings, thereby preserving them as a collection and returning them to their rightful home in the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Experience a private tour, concert and dinner at Frank Lloyd Wright’s incomparable Auldbrass Plantation in Yemassee, South Carolina on Saturday, March 27, 2010. Nestled in the lowlands just outside of Beaufort, South Carolina is a hidden treasure, a plantation unique to the South. Auldbrass Plantation is an extraordinary example of historic preservation and is very rarely open to the public. The Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy has received permission to make the property available for this special event.
