Art Deco Weekend at WMODA
April 26, 2025 @ 10:00 am - April 27, 2025 @ 4:00 pm
$30
Saturday, April 26 & Sunday, April 27, 2025
To celebrate World Art Deco Day and the centennial of the Art Deco movement, WMODA is hosting a sensational weekend series of events showcasing the Fired Arts. The 1925 Paris World’s Fair of decorative art gave rise to a new international design style, which became known as Art Deco. The style is characterized by streamlined, geometric designs, bold colors and the use of luxurious materials, reflecting an appreciation for modernity and machine-made objects. Discover more about Art Deco design at one of our fascinating morning or afternoon sessions presented by expert speakers.
Meet the Experts…
• Stephanie Sabato, Professor Emeritus of Design and Communications, will provide insights into Art Deco! What? Where? When?
