Architectural Preservation Awards 2026
PSModCom, in partnership with Palm Springs Life, invites you to join us for an evening dedicated to celebrating the individuals whose passion and commitment have helped preserve the architectural legacy of the Coachella Valley.
As the season opener for architecture and design enthusiasts, the PSModCom Architectural Preservation Awards honor those who have preserved, restored, and renovated exceptional midcentury residential and commercial properties, ensuring that our desert continues to showcase the iconic design heritage that defines the region.
This special evening recognizes the visionaries, stewards, and preservation advocates whose efforts safeguard the character and history of our community for future generations. The program will also feature the presentation of a very special Lifetime Achievement Award honoring an individual whose impact on preservation has left a lasting mark on the desert landscape.
Following the awards presentation, join us for an Apéro Dînatoire in the Palm Springs Art Museum—fine wines, handcrafted cocktails, and a generous spread of chef-crafted dishes. With seating areas and high-top tables throughout the museum, it’s the perfect opportunity to mingle, celebrate the honorees, catch up with friends, and enjoy a relaxed evening together.
Reserve your seat today and help celebrate the people preserving the desert’s extraordinary midcentury legacy.
