The Art Deco Society
of California (ADSC) honors the aesthetic achievements of the first half
of the 20th Century, especially the decades of the 1920s, '30s and '40s
that are nowadays called the Art Deco period.
The ADSC was founded
in 1981 by architectural historian Michael Crowe and other
preservationists in the San Francisco Bay Area. Like our counterparts in
the U.S. and around the world, the ADSC is a member of the International
Coalition of Art Deco Societies.
We are a
not-for-profit [501(c)3] membership organization that endeavors to
increase public awareness of the Art Deco era, to preserve and promote its
art, architecture, music, fashions, transportation, and other forms of its
popular culture.
In pursuit of that educational goal, we
research and document buildings, other structures and artifacts worthy of
preservation. And annually, we award certificates of merit -- and
publicize --noteworthy preservation and restoration activities in
California.
Equally important to us is communicating
the great sense of fun and elegance inherent in the Art Deco style.
This we do by sponsoring and promoting activities that revive the
fashions, the songs, the dances, and the myriad entertainments of that
wonderful era.
