What is the goal of the Dallas Modern Committee?
The Dallas Modern Committee is dedicated to promoting knowledge, awareness, and appreciation of modern architecture and design in Dallas and Texas.

The committee advocates the preservation of this cultural legacy and seeks support from its members and fellow modern enthusiasts in achieving this goal. We not only celebrate the cultural legacy of the recent past while embracing the present, but also look to the future and encourage continuity within the spirit of modern design and innovation.

Through Preservation Dallas, the Dallas Modern Committee works hard to assemble a variety of events for those interested in modern architecture and design. The committee’s programs include the exchange of information, documentation of cultural resources, seminars, lectures, exhibitions, study tours, and preservation advocacy.

Our organization works with both public and private entities to ensure that the legacy of 20th Century architecture and design does not go unnoticed.
