Premiere of the documentary film, “Jack Rogers Hopkins: California Design Maverick” during Palm Springs Modernism Week, 2023. A Q+A with design experts Katie Nartonis, Jeffrey Head, Dave Hampton and Jo Lauria follows. Gallerist Gerard O’Brien serves as Host.

The film is a companion piece to the 2020 book “Jack Rogers Hopkins: California Design Maverick” which features rare historical images, Hopkins family photos and insightful original essays on the life and work of an important West Coast designer-maker. The book and the film together will, in turn, inform an upcoming 2024 exhibit featuring a small collection of rare and important works by the late San Diego designer-craftsman. The exhibit opens in the Spring of 2024 at the Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation for Arts and Crafts Jacobs Education Center Gallery in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
