More specifically, past events have included vintage dances with live period authentic music, illustrated presentations on historical topics such as fashion, film history, architecture, design and dance and other cultural topics, author talks, docent-led museum experiences and walking tours of Art Deco architecture, plus dress-up social events, to mention a few of our popular activities. If you have an event to suggest or would like to participate in making an event happen, please contact us at artdeco@adsla.org.
