November 11-14, 2020
The Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy’s virtual conference, Saving Wright Now, offered an unprecedented chance to convene the global community of Wright specialists and aficionados online from November 11-14, 2020. Preservationists, homeowners and public site leaders participated in lively panel discussions and opened their doors to attendees through video and photographic tours, providing a broad look at the current state of the movement to save Wright. Nearly twenty sites were featured, many not regularly open to visitors—an itinerary that spanned Wright’s career and reaches from his Midwestern origins to Japan. A special Gala honored the 2020 Wright Spirit Award recipients and highlighted unique items and experiences offered in the Conservancy’s first-ever online silent auction.
Several conference sessions were available free to the public, and videos can be viewed online: Wright Sites PechaKucha vol. 2, Wright Virtual Visits: Taliesin West & Unity Temple, and the Gala featuring the Wright Spirit Awards.
