Welcome to Tucson Modernism Week 2023, brought to you by the Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation. We’re absolutely delighted to have you with us. This year, we’re proud to unveil a thoughtfully crafted program that offers a close-up and intimate exploration of the 20th-century heritage that binds our community and region. As we embark on a journey of growth and revitalization, we’re also in the process of reassembling our Modernism Week planning team. If you’re passionate about modernism and would like to be part of our team, we invite you to connect with us. Join us as we celebrate the legacy of the 20th century with a fresh perspective.

Tucson Modernism Week during the pandemic was made possible by the following sponsors. We continue our recognition of their support: Major Sponsors: Copenhagen, AZ Modern, Benjamin Supply, and the Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures. Additional support from Xppose Media, Hazelbaker & Ranek, Tim Hagyard/Long Realty, Michelle Hotchkiss Atomic Tucson/Re-Max Results Realty, The Sunshine Shop, and Prideaux Designs.  And finally, Tucson Modernism Week would not be possible without the support of a generous grant from Arizona Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities
