NEW WEB SITE FEATURE
We have added a new page to our website called Collectors Corner. Whenever
we can we will be featuring the art deco collection of any member who
wishes to share it with our audience in a photo online exhibit. You
may participate as an anonymous collector or take full credit. Either
way, our viewing audience will be that much richer for having seen it.
Currently we are showcasing the art deco frame collection of Steve Starr.
Go there now. Please contact
Joe Loundy at chicagoartdecosociety@yahoo.com
for full details.

CHICAGO
ART DECO SURVEY AND COMMUNICATION BLOG - SEEKING COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
For several years, the board and members of CADS considered
the need for a publication that would be the first comprehensive survey
of Art Deco in Chicago. The “Chicago Art Deco” publication
will be that book. It is estimated that there are approximately 500
buildings, interiors and monuments that should be considered for the
content of “Chicago Art Deco”. Thus, CADS invites the public
in our mission to document all known Deco elements in Chicago. You can
help by going to this blog and giving us your input.
