Modernist Home of the Month: Don’t Miss Modapalooza
We are doing something a little different for our Modernist Home of the Month feature for August… If you are here, chances are you have a huge crush on Modernist design—and if you do—you need to know about NCModernist. NCModernist is a 501C3 nonprofit educational archive for the documentation, preservation, and promotion of Modernist houses. They are an influential community of architecture fans that continually host wildly popular Modernist events that give thousands of people access to the most exciting residential architecture, past and present.
So, obviously, we have a crush on them, and we are so excited about their upcoming event, Modapalooza! 😉
Tickets Are on Sale Now for Modapalooza on Saturday, September 17, 2022
