This is a reminder to RSVP by Noon Central time on Monday, Aug. 16 to receive the link to the upcoming meeting of the Decorative Arts SIG!
***********************************************************************************************************
The next quarterly meeting of the Decorative Arts SIG is scheduled for Tuesday, August 17 at 4:00pm Eastern, 3:00pm Central, 2:00pm Mountain, 1:00pm Pacific.
Most of the focus of the meeting will be to discuss potential conference sessions on the theme of Past Present Future: Aspiring to New Heights that could be sponsored by the Decorative Arts SIG. Conference session proposals are due to the conference committee by Sept 7.
We did some brainstorming at our last meeting in May. Here are the ideas shared at that time:
- Spotlight Chicago-area people of color in the dec arts to expand understanding and knowledge
- Ask for funding to bring Tiffany Momon, the compiler of the Black Craftspeople Digital Archive database to the SIG meeting during conference week?
- Chicago is a center for architecture – join with the Architecture SIG to create a program.
- Arts & Crafts, Wright Studio, Oak Park, Unity Temple are possible points of focus.
- Tours -- The Richard H. Driehaus Museum and Tiffany Collection would be either a tour or we could sponsor a speaker from the museum
- We could also sponsor a tour to Milwaukee or sponsor a speaker from the Chipstone Foundation, for example.
Do you or your colleagues have other ideas for a great session to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of ARLIS/NA? Bring them to the meeting on August 17 and let the SIG know how we can support you.
We will also take a few minutes to do a Round Robin sharing of new projects or events that members have been working on.
