The exhibition Charles Clement: Designer–Craftsman at the Bondante House has been extended. Open to the public, free admission:

November 15–16
November 22–23
10:00 AM — 3:00 PM
5111 E Citrus Street, Tucson

Designed by Charles Alfred Clement in 1956 for Mary and Aldo Bondante, the house is an important work of Tucson mid-century architecture. The Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation acquired and restored the property to preserve Clement’s design vision and to share his work with the public.

We are currently working to secure funding to support the acquisition and restoration of the house. Contributions help ensure that the property remains publicly accessible for research, interpretation, and future programming.
