What can Frank Lloyd Wright teach us about architecture today?

Join us and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation on Friday, September 11, for the next installation in our lecture series: "Frank Lloyd Wright in the 21st Century," presented by Anna Andrzejewski, the Frank Lloyd Wright Professor of Modern American Architecture at UW–Madison.

Riverview Terrace was one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s passion projects, envisioned as a welcoming gateway to Taliesin. Designed for both visitors and the local community, it blends everyday gathering—lunches, dinners, and casual moments—with the larger experience of the estate. Today, hosting an event here continues that legacy, helping preserve these spaces while keeping Wright’s vision of community alive for future generations.

You asked. We listened.

The Taliesin Fellowship Experience, running October 2–4, 2026, invites you to step into the world of Frank Lloyd Wright’s legendary Fellowship community and experience a taste of life at Taliesin.

Created by Wright and Olgivanna in 1932, the Taliesin Fellowship was an immersive community where apprentices lived, worked, studied, and created together. This weekend offers a glimpse into that extraordinary way of life—reimagined for today.

Over three days, you’ll explore Taliesin and its landscape, enjoy tea in the historic Tea Circle, take part in a guided design activity, hear from Taliesin Fellows and guest speakers, and experience a Fellowship “Formal Evening” in the Hillside Dining Room.

You’ll also have time for individual reflection, creativity, and conversation—all within the spaces and landscape that shaped generations of artists, architects, and designers.

Come experience the rhythm of Fellowship life at Taliesin—minus doing the dishes.
