“Meet Modern In Denver magazine. We celebrate modern design and living in Colorado. But we balk at the walls of limitation that a title constructs! We’re much more than a magazine. MID is also a platform for discussing and exploring outside-the-box ways of living that are inspired by modern design and practices.
We think good design can be an integral part of real life right here in Denver. In fact, we’ve seen it. And we want to tell you about it. We find it important to connect the designs we feature to the particulars of our place, our community, and the people in it. This makes it real, practical and possible for great modern design to become part of your life.
We know you’re a discerning crowd. That’s why we’re committed to printing more than just pretty pictures. We bring you interesting, intelligent articles crammed full of qualified resources. We show you how real people create and live in honest-to-goodness modern places around the corner and maybe even right next door. We spotlight architects, designers, artists and entrepreneurs right here in our own backyard.”

Our Mission: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and consumer energy costs by advancing clean energy, energy efficiency and zero emission vehicles to benefit all Coloradans.
Our Vision: A prosperous, clean energy future for Colorado.
Equity, Diversity & Inclusion The core of the Colorado Energy Office’s vision is inclusive, striving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and consumer energy costs by advancing clean energy, energy efficiency and zero emission vehicles to benefit all Coloradans. Inherent in this vision is the necessity to drive changes in energy production and use, the built environment, land use and transportation systems in a way that not only reduces negative impacts from these systems but also counteracts racist and discriminatory policy by providing benefits to disproportionately-impacted communities, people of color and underserved populations. Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) principles are core to the clean and prosperous future we envision for Colorado, and we have a lot of continuing work to meet our goals. CEO created its first EDI plan in 2021 to guide this work.
