The annual homage to Tucson's post-World War II roots is opting for quality over quantity.
Gerald M. Gay Tucson Modernism Week, the annual celebration of the city's post-war, midcentury roots, will look a little different this year.
"We are taking this year to redefine how we are going to continue to present this program," said Demion Clinco, president of the foundation."Rather than having a lot of content, we've really focused on some incredible opportunities with which the community can engage."People are also reading… "We are really interested in exploring the relationship between northern Sonora and Southern Arizona in the post-WWII period," Clinco said.
"Ann had a women’s fashion store in Tucson in the mid-20th century," Clinco said."Through the dispensation of her estate, many of the pieces of clothing that she sold, her best examples, were donated to the Preservation Foundation." "There were only a few places in the American Southwest that had these large concentrations of artists, designers, craftsmen, architects," he said.
