Spring offerings at Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West

Posted

The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation is rolling out a calendar of engaging spring and summer programming for visitors to experience Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright’s winter home and studio in Scottsdale, through educational opportunities and cultural events, including wellness programs, film viewings, interactive workshops, theater performances and more.

Established in 1938 as a winter camp for Wright and his apprentices as they traveled from Taliesin — his primary home and studio in Wisconsin — each winter, Taliesin West evolved alongside the growing fellowship program to serve as a hub for innovation, as well as an arts and culture destination for those who resided there. Today, under the stewardship of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Taliesin West continues to captivate over 100,000 visitors annually, offering a glimpse into the genius of one of America’s most iconic architects.

In addition to regular tour offerings, such as the Highlights Audio Tour and In-Depth Guided Tour, here are a few highlights of events at Taliesin West this season.
