Join the Organic Architecture + Design Archives on Friday, November 6, 2026, for An Ocatilla Evening, OA+D’s annual fundraising celebration and an unforgettable evening devoted to Frank Lloyd Wright’s remarkable lost desert masterpiece.

Hosted at the Chandler Museum, this special event will invite guests to experience Ocatilla: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Lost Desert Masterpiece in a festive and intimate setting. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres, drinks, conversation with fellow admirers of architecture and design, and a silent auction featuring unique items and experiences.

At the center of the exhibition is a full-scale reconstruction of one of Wright’s 1929 Ocatilla cabins, accompanied by rare archival materials, historic photographs, original objects, drawings, and film footage. Together, these elements reveal how Wright’s brief desert encampment helped transform his ideas about architecture, landscape, and life in the American Southwest.

More than a memorable evening, this event is an opportunity to support the important work of OA+D. Proceeds will advance the organization’s ongoing efforts to preserve, protect, research, and share the history of organic architecture and design through archival stewardship, exhibitions, publications, and public programs.

Tickets are $75 per person,& availability is limited.
