PHOENIX MODERN WEEK 2014

New York City has their fashion Week, Miami has Art Deco Weekend, and this weekend kicked off the 10th Annual Modern Week here in Phoenix! Modern Phoenix Week is a week long celebration of the historic & iconic mid century modern architecture here in the Valley. Saturday afternoon kicked-off MoPho Week this year with a tour of the iconic Hotel Valley Ho, directed by hotel concierge Ace Bailey. Jeff and I attended the tour and LOVED it! A second tour will be happening this coming Saturday morning, at 10am. (I'll be going more in depth about our tour experience in the upcoming next post.) Sunday was a slide presentation and talk by Roger Brevoort at the Shemer Art Center about preserving Arcadia's fragile Mid Century architectural character. Monday thru Friday will be full of evening events, some including an architectural film at SMoCA, a mixer at DWR Scottsdale, and a First Friday gallery artist reception at the vintage shop, Modern Manor.

Modern Phoenix Week will culminate Saturday with a Phoenix Modern Week Expo, including pop-up shops and meet & greet time with area MoPho professionals, including a raffle to win an original and locally-crafted design. The sold-out tour of Mid Century Modern Phoenix homes, this year in Arcadia, will be Sunday, April 6.
