SPONSORSHIPS/UNDERWRITING

Underwriting supports production and distribution of the longrunning USModernist Radio podcast, the #2 show for architecture and design, with 280+ episodes and 480+ exciting guests who own, create, love, and even hate Modernist architecture, the most controversial houses and buildings in the world. USModernist Radio attracts between 6,000 and 15,000 downloads a month. Includes weekly mention in the USModernist newsletter. $15,000 per year for 50 shows.

Underwriting supports USModernist's benefit events at Modernism Week Each February in Palm Springs, the largest yearly gathering of Modernist enthusiasts in the world. Your company can be the exclusive sponsor for a magical evening gala benefit for 200 guests or a daytime house tour for 600 visitors at the beautiful Kirk and Anne Douglas Estate, one of the finest examples of desert architect Donald Wexler's work. You'll also have the opportunity to provide promotional materials to event participants, if desired. $10,000 per event, $15,000 for both.

Underwriting supports the USModernist Magazine Library, the world's largest open digital archive of architecture and design magazines: more than 4.2 million pages of nearly 100 titles going back 125 years - such as Architectural Record, Architecture, AIA Journal, Architectural Forum, Progressive Architecture, Atomic Ranch, and many AIA Chapters. Access to legacy publications has never been more critical for preservation, and now architects, realtors, owners, sellers, and buyers have an easy way to research 20th-century architecture magazine coverage. All across America, old architecture magazines are left rotting in attics, basements, libraries, and office. In their day, these publications chronicled the best of Modernist architecture and the era's talented, progressive architects. Many of these mid-century Modernist architects and original Modernist clients have died. The rest are rapidly passing away, their houses largely forgotten and often needlessly destroyed. $15,000 per year.
