Windy City Art Deco Video Event
About the Program:
The Art Deco Society of New York’s series of web-based illustrated talks inspired by our Destination DecoTM travel program continues with an exciting virtual “visit” to the Windy City with Chicago-based educator and author Kathleen Murphy Skolnik.
In this recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—you'll explore why connoisseurs of Art Deco architecture cannot help but be drawn to Chicago!
The Video Event highlights how the city’s soaring Art Deco skyscrapers boast cliff-like setbacks and machine-age imagery that epitomize the glamour, exuberance, and optimism of the era, while also illustrating that Chicago Art Deco is not limited to tall commercial downtown towers. Through this visually stunning presentation we see how the style also extends to residences, churches, theaters, and small commercial buildings.
Claim your ticket now to enjoy this engaging tour of Chicago’s iconic Art Deco designs as well as less well known examples that demonstrate the wide application of Art Deco to a variety of buildings types throughout the city and the tremendous diversity in its visual expression.
This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.
