Modernist is a private community of innovators and leaders in industry and the arts. We were founded in 2015 by a group of accomplished and fun-loving friends, and we have grown to an amazing list of notable members from diverse backgrounds. Our goal is to create a lifelong community of like-minded people, with engaging, fun things to do and interesting people to meet. We value members who are fun, friendly, interesting, accomplished, respectful and unpretentious.
