Chicago Modernist Collective - Launch Party!

Join us as we launch a reimagined community inspired by the group formerly known as Chicago Bauhaus and Beyond. (If you know, you know!)

We've rebranded as The Chicago Modernist Collective. This event's goal is to poll for fall event ideas, while offering space for conversation, community, and connection.

Light refreshment will be provided as we tour Highland Park's 1962 Keck & Keck dream home on Partridge Lane. Privately owned and rarely seen by the public, this home is famed for its oval design, built around an indoor swimming pool with working retractable roof. A sunken bar area, terrazzo floors, and built-in cabinets add touches of mid-century elegance. The home has recently undergone extensive renovation and has never been seen with its new design elements, which mindfully honor modernist aesthetic and tradition.

At 3 PM we will host a round table discussion that will set the stage for fall programming. We want to hear from you! What are you interested in seeing more of this year? More mid-century homes? Bauhaus era architecture? Modernist furniture design? Atomic Age novelties? The possibilities are endless! Let's discuss ideas for fall events - All voices welcome.

This is event is free of charge. RSVP required - Attendance is limited due to the size of the home.
