Modern Architecture Tour

Thank you for all who attended and supported the Saturday, October 13 event, which showcased six mid-century gems in Long Beach, CA. This fundraising event benefitted UAM exhibitions, art education, student programs, collection conservation, and community engagement. The UAM thanks attendees, supporters, and sponsors for their generosity.

Thanks to Sylvia and Ronnie Hartman for their generosity and hospitality in opening their home for the Garden Party. It was an evening of thanks, with an elegantly catered spread, signature cocktails by The Stache Bar, and opportunities to socialize with UAM supporters. This fundraiser also featured private art collection tours and live jazz music from Miscellaneous Magic. 

Special thanks to architectural photographer Darren Bradley, whose photos make up this website banner, and program writer Sarah Gilbert Locke for their valuable pro bono services. 
Also, the UAM is grateful for its Advisory Board and Committee members, who helped develop and plan this fundraiser. The museum is indebted to you.
