Workshops and Events
The rich variety of cultural opportunities in the Chicago area makes it possible for the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust to sponsor hands-on activities and thematic events for adults and families. These events range from workshops in architectural photography to the celebration of Japanese culture. Events change yearly.

Architecture Fantasy Camp

Camp participants live out their dreams working in the drafting room of Wright's Oak Park studio. Under the guidance of architects, architecture enthusiasts in this four-evening workshop learn basic drafting techniques and execute frameable floor plans of their creations. For non-architects only. The camp takes place in March, June, August, and then once again later in the Fall (usually in September). Fee is $650 for Preservation Trust members and $700 for non-members. Space is limited.
