Founded in 2018, Modern Albuquerque was the first business in New Mexico to promote Albuquerque's mid-century modern architecture and history year-round through tours, events, and media. Modern Albuquerque reorganized as a New Mexico non-profit corporation in January 2020, expanding its mission to encompass modernist architecture before and beyond the mid-century period, modernist art installations, and landscape design. Following a decision by the Board of Directors, Modern Albuquerque is currently exploring its next phase as a non-profit project.
