Welcome to The Shag House! Experience life at the Shag House–a fully immersive tour experience that will make visitors feel like they have climbed into a life-size Shag painting. The Artist Shag (Josh Agle) with homeowner, Brandon and John-Patrick of Brandtopia have creatively rescued and revived this cherished midcentury modern pool home in the Little Beverly Hills neighborhood of Palm Springs that is the talk of the town. As the lead designer and creative director of this major remodel and expansion, Shag has drawn upon his architectural studies and the aesthetic of his artwork to reimagine this classic 1958 home, originally designed by Desert Modern architects Palmer & Krisel for the Alexander Construction Company. Modernist fans will certainly recognize the core of the house, where Shag has preserved much of the original layout including the familiar 3-bedroom, 2-bath floor plan, as well as the tongue and groove ceilings. The kitchen and living rooms remain in their original location as does the fireplace. While the center of the home’s layout remains the same, everything else has been updated, expanded, and transformed for today’s modern homeowner. Shag has created an entirely new exterior, offering grand curb appeal. The front entry has been expanded and the original breezeway has been converted into a swank party lounge. Shag is a painter, illustrator and product designer whose distinctive artistic style draws from commercial illustration from the past five decades. His work is imbued with an attitude and sly sense of humor which is unmistakably of our time. The paintings themselves celebrate consumerism and consumption on vividly colored sharply rendered panels; the characters drink, smoke and eat in lavish, stylish surroundings. This one-of-a-kind Shag House will set the perfect party backdrop in Palm Springs.

Get ready for more laughs and lunacy as Screwball Sundays are back with another season of fast-talking antics, outrageous plot twists, and unforgettable characters from the golden age of Hollywood! This year’s lineup brings you rare screenings of classic screwball comedies that continue to delight and surprise, proving that comedy truly never goes out of style. Each film screens on the BIG SCREEN in our Historic Camelot Theatre at the Palm Springs Cultural Center and includes live introductions and Film Q + A sessions with the Film Society of Screwball Comedy, plus special guest appearances from renowned authors, film scholars, film historians, and dvd commentators including Molly Haskell, Scott Eyman, Steven C. Smith, Mark Vieira, David Kalat, and Dr. Olympia Kiriakou. MAY 18 | 3 PM | NOTHING SACRED (1937) Directed by William A. Wellman and written by Ben Hecht , Nothing Sacred is a biting satire on media sensationalism. Carole Lombard plays a small-town woman who fakes a terminal illness to gain fame, with Fredric March as the hapless reporter who falls for her ruse. This screwball classic is both hilarious and sharply critical of celebrity culture, making it as relevant today as it was in 1937. Guest Speaker | Dr. Olympia Kiriakou Film historian Dr. Olympia Kiriakou is the author of Becoming Carole Lombard: Stardom, Comedy and Legacy (2020). She teaches film history and theory at Florida Atlantic University, hosts the podcast T he Screwball Story , and created the website TheScrewballGirl.com .
