Denver Modernism Week

Denver Modernism Week Celebrates Mid-Century Modern Design in Denver
Denver Modernism Week, now in its sixth year, is an annual event designed to celebrate the mid-century modern architecture, design and culture in the Denver area. This 10-day showcase from August 19-28, 2022, will feature presentations, tours, parties, and a vintage market. This year’s Denver Modernism Week will also feature home tours and talks throughout the Denver metro area.

About Denver Modernism Week
Denver Modernism Week was founded in 2017 by three partners, Adrian Kinney, Dana Sednek, and Atom Stevens and is a majority woman-owned business. The vision is to partner with local organizations, businesses, non-profits, museums, neighborhoods, collaborators, and stakeholders to raise awareness of the unique modern era culture and encourage ongoing preservation through education.

Home Retrovation Expo at Denver Modernism Week 
For the first time, Denver Modernism Week will also feature the Home Retrovation Expo, which offers current and aspiring homeowners the chance to learn how to smartly renovate and decorate mid-century modern. On August 20th, from 11am-4pm, attendees will hear from industry-leading experts, designers, brands, and services about how to plan and design mid-mod home renovations. The event will be hosted at the architecturally significant I.M.Pei tower at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel and includes lunch, expert speakers, and a vendor showcase. ​

Mod Vintage Market 
The Mod Vintage Market, formerly Denver Mod, joins Denver Modernism Week for a second year at the Exploration of Flight Hangar (13005 Wings Way). There will be over 50 of the very best exhibitor booths full of vintage and contemporary modern designs. Vendors will feature furniture, artwork, clothing, mid-century, deco, retro, Eames-era, mod and more. The market begins Friday, August 26th, with a VIP experience 7-10pm. The Mod Vintage Market continues Saturday, August 27th, from 9am-4pm, and includes a vintage travel trailer tour, the Motorama Auto Show and a vintage airplane fly-in.
