The UAM Modern Architecture Tour responds to public enthusiasm for mid-century modern design. Recently awarded a Preservation Award from Long Beach Heritage for the 2017 exhibition Frank Bros: The Store That Modernized Modern, the UAM continues to celebrate Long Beach's prominent role in modernism, and highlights some of the most important architects of the region.

The UAM is pleased to present a day of self-guided tours through the following sites:

• Gibbs & Gibbs Office, by Donald Gibbs (1963) 

• The Mcwilliams Residence, by John W. McWilliams (1958) 

• The Killingsworth Residence, by Edward A. Killingsworth (1961)
  Sponsored by Studio One Eleven

  Sponsored by Clark Construction

A Garden Party at the home of Sylvia and Ronnie Hartman will provide a festive finish to the day, with an elegantly catered spread, signature cocktails, and an opportunity to socialize with prominent UAM supporters. This cocktail party fundraiser offers a full tour of arts and performance in itself, featuring aerialist performances, an exclusive auction, private art collection tours, and live jazz music.

This fundraising event benefits UAM exhibitions, art education, student programs, collection conservation, and community engagement.
