Palm Springs is synonymous with Mid-Century Modernism, but behind the iconic glass walls and desert landscapes are the visionary women who shaped its identity.

In this interview, we dive into the life and legacy of Sidney Williams , a key figure in the "Modern Women: The Influencers Who Shaped Palm Springs" exhibition at the Palm Springs Art Museum.

As a dedicated preservationist, Sidney Williams has been at the forefront of protecting the architectural integrity of Palm Springs, ensuring that the city’s modernist masterpieces endure for future generations.

About the Exhibition:
"Modern Women: The Influencers Who Shaped Palm Springs" honors the women who have played key roles in the development, promotion, and conservation of Modern Architecture in the Palm Springs area.

Combining archival documents with contemporary images and oral testimonies, this exhibition highlights the multidimensional contributions of women practitioners and influencers in the field. Through a series of eight portraits that each highlight a single project, Modern Women examines the impact of women in essential roles that bring architecture to life: as politicians, clients, developers, patrons, architects, interior designers, influencers, and conservationists. The exhibition also presents a newly constructed timeline of women contributors to the area from 1909 until now, offering a nuanced perspective on architectural history and its interconnected disciplines.

Celebrating the collections of the Architecture and Design Center, Modern Women focuses on individuals whose efforts are documented and preserved within our archival holdings.
