ABOUT ADSC:

The ACSC is a non-profit organization that endeavors to increase public awareness of Art Deco and to preserve and promote the art, music, fashion, architecture and transportation of the era (roughly 1919-1941). The Art Deco Preservation Ball is held each Spring to recognize those who have preserved, or are in the process of preserving or restoring, Art Deco in areas including architecture, music and fashion. Past awardees include the Fox Theater in Oakland, the Hoover Tower at Stanford University, Palo Alto, and the Queen Mary in Long Beach.

There will be a silent auction and a photo exhibit of Art Deco architecture in the Bay Area. The event is made possible in part through corporate and individual donors and sponsorship, with sponsors for this year’s event currently being sought.

The City Club of San Francisco’s mission is to promote active engagement and influence in civic, social and business areas. They focus their support on community service, appreciation of the City's arts, culture and culinary experiences to inspire fellowship at the Club. The Club is housed in a historic Art Deco building in downtown San Francisco, and the interior includes a major mural painted by famed artist Diego Rivera, known for his work during the Art Deco period.
