Look back on all the CAMP highlights from Modernism Week 2017.
Modernism Week’s central headquarters, CAMP (Community and Meeting Place) welcomed over 25,000 visitors through its tent doors last month.
“This year attendees returned daily to CAMP to attend talks and cooking demonstrations, depart on tours, shop, and dine. The comments we received during the event reinforced that CAMP continues to be an important part of Modernism Week’s success,” said Modernism Week Chairman Chris Mobley.
