Origin and vision
World Art Deco Day, on April 28th, honors the 20th-century style that captured the imagination. The initiative, spearheaded by Italia Liberty, showcases Art Deco's enduring appeal.
The essence of Art Deco
Art Deco, with its elegant lines, refined geometry, and dialogue between art and industry, was born in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of 1920s Paris.
From there, it spread rapidly throughout Europe and the United States, leaving its mark on urban architecture, interiors, advertising posters, and everyday objects.
Why April 28
April 28 marks the opening of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris in 1925. This event officially marked the birth of Art Deco, defining its aesthetic and global diffusion.
A global network
World Art Deco Day unites scholars, institutions, and fans globally. Through events and digital projects, it fosters an international community celebrating Art Deco.
