West Coast Modern Week
West Coast Modern Week 2025 will take place from July 8 to 13.
West Coast Modern Week is a yearly celebration of West Coast Modernism, a distinct architectural style with deep roots in West Vancouver. Surrounded by forested mountains, an expansive ocean, and a lush rainforest, this natural setting presents unique challenges and opportunities that are reflected in the local architecture. Presented by the West Vancouver Art Museum, West Coast Modern Week’s events include talks, exhibitions, socializing, and a unique Home Tour offering access to local, architecturally-significant homes.
