Get INvolved with modernism Week 2024 in Sunrise Park

Hey Neighbors,

Would you like to participate in the Modernism Week Tour for the Sunrise Park Neighborhood? We are looking for homes that reflect the mid-century modern design aesthetics and principles, both in exterior and interior architectural details and in interior décor and furnishings. The homes can either be original and well-preserved, accurately restored to original, or renovated to reflect the principles of mid-century modern design. Homes with a recognized architect or an interesting history are especially welcome.

The tour will be Sunday, February 18, 2024 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and tour hosts will be provided with a cleaning stipend. A celebratory cocktail thank-you party for the homeowners and other volunteers will follow the tour. Neighbors who have had their homes on tour have loved the experience and described it as very rewarding.

We are working with Modernism Week who will need to approve the homes on the tour by late August. If you are interested in having your home on the tour or would like more information, please contact David Secor via email at spnotreasurer@gmail.com.
