Launch of Salt Lake Modern

Posted by: kirk

On June 25th, Utah Heritage Foundation began a new era.  The launch of Salt Lake Modern has called all those who have a passion for retro, streamline, and the recent past.  The opening event at a Stephen Macdonald-designed, Japanese-influenced house near the University of Utah drew an eclectic mix of passionate people from across the valley.olympus4_resized

Salt Lake Modern is dedicated to preserving, protecting, and promoting the Salt Lake region's mid-century modern architecture.  As a part of Utah Heritage Foundation, SL Mod functions as a committee to promote awareness of such works, document the architects who created them, and showcase the functional design philosophy behind them.

You can help get Salt Lake Modern off to a great start in two ways.

1)      Join Utah Heritage Foundation as a modern member;

What are the benefits?  Getting invitations to future Salt Lake Modern events and supporting our work to document and advocate saving modern architecture.

2)      Volunteer to help document these great buildings by emailing kirk@utahheritagefoundation.org.
