Denver Modernism Show

National Western Events Center - 4655 Humboldt St - Denver - .
Now in its third year, the Denver Modernism Show is expanding yet again - into the 32,000+ sq ft Expo Hall at the National Western Complex. Located at the intersection of I-25 and I-70, the new location promises easy access and more space than ever for the popular show. "We are getting tons of new vendors signing up this year," says show hostess, Dana Cain. "And it sounds like most of last year's vendors are planning to come back too, so we should have a really big show!" Our Top 10 Show Updates: 1. We have added "Stylish at any Speed: The Mid-Century Automotive Design Show" on Sunday! 2. LA's Charles Phoenix returns - with "The United States of Charles Phoenix" retro slide show - just in time for the DNC! 3. The Velvet Elvis performs Friday night - complete with Go-Go Girls and heavy on the rockabilly! 4. Live Hula Girls will also be dancing and mingling in our Tiki Lounge on Friday night! 5. Mod Livin' LIVE - a fabulous mid-century auction - takes place in Denver just AFTER the show closes on Sunday. 6. We've bought TV ads on HGTV the week leading up to the show. 7. We are paying for the parking lots - so you all can have FREE PARKING ONLISTE! 7. We're the Back Cover ad in the upcoming premiere issue of Modern in Denver! 9. The show won't be straight aisles - We're doing a Disneyland-style modular floorplan! 10. The Tiki Bar will be open ALL WEEKEND! Last year's Modernism Show drew nearly 3,000 attendees and about 100 vendors from across the U.S, making it one of the nation's biggest modernism shows. It's an arena that is definitely growing, with new shows popping up this year in Las Vegas and San Francisco. Denver's show is popular, in part, for its acceptance of contemporary modernism, as many other modernism shows insist on vintage-only pieces. Denver's show also distinguishes itself by placing a strong secondary emphasis on modern art - both vintage and contemporary. This year, more art galleries and individual artists are buying booths. And the juried art gallery section is expecting more than 200 submissions. Also expanding is the event's popular Friday night Tiki Bar. In fact ... it's not just a bar anymore. Cain is sectioning off an entire "Tiki Lounge" area featuring tiki vendors and other tiki-themed treats. Friday night's preview party entertainment will include LA's Charles Phoenix, the Velvet Elvis and live Hula Girls! Phoenix, who recently appeared on the cover of LA Weekly and been seen twice on Martha Stewart's TV show, will present his gala retro slide show event, "The United States of Charles Phoenix," a laugh-ou-loud funny tribute to Americana of the 50s, 60s and 70s. "The Velvet Elvis," Colorado's best Elvis impersonator, will perform, complete with Go-Go Girls. Tickets are on sale now, online at www.denvermodernism.eventbrite.com . General admission tickets for Saturday and Sunday are $5. Kids 12 and under get in free. Friday night's Preview party tickets are $10 each. General show information is at www.denvermodernism.com
