The Preserving Michigan Modern lecture series takes place on the campus of Cranbrook Educational Community, and will cover certain themes through presentations on the designers and landmarks of Michigan modernism, the archives that record these modernist legacies, and the physical preservation of these landmarks.

The book signing on October 30 will include Susan Bandes and her new book, Mid-Michigan Modernism: From Frank Lloyd Wright to Googie. This book, as well as Michigan Modern, will be for sale at the event. Book signing sales benefit the Michigan Modern project, and the Cranbrook Center for Collections and Research.
