Underwriting supports USModernist's benefit events at Modernism Week, February 2023 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. 

Underwriting supports the USModernist Magazine Library, the world's largest open digital archive of architecture and design magazines: more than 4 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. 

Underwriting supports the The George Matsumoto Prize competition, North Carolina's highest design honor exclusively for new Modernist houses.  The Matsumoto Prize encourages young architects, designers, and prospective clients to continue the Modernist movement in houses so important to North Carolina's design heritage. The Prize meaningfully and powerfully engages the public with the architecture they love and showcases exceptional Modernist architects and designers in North Carolina.This annual competition, now in its 12th year, gives your company outreach to nearly all the state's major residential architects.  See our past jurors like Cathleen McGuigan, Jim Jennings, Paul Goldberger, Annabelle Selldorf,  Deborah Berke, Tom Kundig, and Jeanne Gang here. $6,000 per year, including on-stage participation in the public awards ceremony in July. Starting in January of each year, this sponsorship includes mention and a link in all Prize communications to architects and the public through July, including multiple features in the weekly USModernist newsletter.
