"...
The Denver mod show is opening its doors to new mid-century
themed products. I feel this is the way into the future for
all of us." Jim Brown, Atomic Ranch

"Best
Arty Markets: Dana Cain. Dana Cain is so hip it hurts. She has
that knack for knowing which old stuff is especially new again,
and has used it to build an empire of totally entertaining collectibles
expos. First, she's the entrepreneurial brain behind the Collectors
Supershow toy extravaganza, which recently joined forces with
the Majesticon comics show to provide a double whammy of happy
pop-culture hunting under one roof. Last summer she launched
the enormously popular Denver Modernism Show, an unbelievable
mid-century blowout that will quadruple in size when it returns
this August at a larger venue. And her newest take on collectibles-hawking
was the recent Vintage Voltage Expo, an electronics-centric
show that included everything from vinyl records to guitar amps
to old-school audio gear. There's a packrat in each and every
one of us, so go, Dana, go!" Westword,
BEST OF DENVER 2007 |

The
taste and sophistication level of our community has long been
underestimated and undervalued. Good for you all for raising
the bar! Sandy Peletier, Denver, attendee |

Denver
is finally joining the modernism big boys, and to that we say:
"Groovy, baby! It's about time!" Sally
Stich, Denver Post |

...The
summer buzz has been about one vintage event in particular:
the Denver Modernism Show. Colorado's first official mid-century
modern love-fest... Elena Ashanti Jefferson, Denver

It
was the Party of the Year! Shelley Shinn, Arrow Estates |
 |
Denver
has never seen a collection like this in one spot. Peole who
have been stashing their treasures for years are bringing them
out for the show. Susan Froyd, Westword |
 |
...A
FAB show! We had a blast! I loved the crowd and the stuff, and
the tiki bar & DJs were perfect! Sandra,
Yesterday's Child, Denver |
 |
I
have never seen such a great turnout for a first-time event.
Lisa
Tyler, Gallerie Rouge |

I
have never made so much money in so short a time in 30 years
of selling. I've sold at shows all over the country. How did
you DO this?
Robin Isaacs, Lake Forest, CA |

The
Denver Modernism Show last weekend turned out to be the place
to be ... Organizer Dana Cain obviously hit the mark betting
that this aesthetic was ripe for an event of this kind.
