| The Art Deco Society
Northwest is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the
preservation and education of all aspects of the Art Deco
period. Our goal is to increase awareness, appreciation and
education of art deco, especially in the pacific northwest. Our
activities center around preservation, education, history, and
entertainment. |
| Our activities include information and action
about preservation projects which support the preservation of
buildings in the Pacific Northwest considered to be of the Art Deco
Period. |
| Meetings are held every other month, and the
programs vary from vintage films to speakers on a variety of
topics, such as architecture, interior design, fashion, jewelry,
movies, music, art and vintage transportation. Special events
include tours of Art Deco locations, film showings and discussions of
specific Art Deco styles. |
|
| Art Deco is an
artistic expression which gained prominence from the 1925
Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes
held in Paris. The exposition’s theme was based on the future
and on an artistic expression which complemented the machine
age. |
| The Art Deco Period encompasses the years
between World War I and World War II (1918-1941). Art Deco
motifs were applied to all design objects including clothing,
jewelry, furniture as well as the interiors and exteriors of
buildings. The 1930’s style turned to aerodynamic forms and was
termed The Machine Age |
