Since 2008, the American Institute of Architects Sierra Valley Chapter and the Modesto Art Museum have hosted the Modesto Architecture Festival. By 2013, the festival grew to nine days, 100 events, and thousands of participants, making it one of the largest architecture festivals in the country. The 2014 festival will be an even richer event as we explore architecture, landscape, public art, and urban design. There is something inspirational and informative for everyone of every interest and age: tours, exhibits, international movies, bike rides, workshops, speakers, installations, interventions, kid’s activities, and special events with dozens of community partners. Almost all events and activities are admission free. The festival mission is to celebrate architecture and architectural design as both an art and a science, and to heighten public awareness of architecture and the value of architects and designers in creating more livable and beautiful communities.
