ADSNY: From Art Nouveau to Art Deco: French Perfumery
2026-02-21 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Phoenix)
As a Phoenix Art Deco Society member, you’re invited to attend events through the International Coalition of Art Deco Society’s. Check out this event below from the Art Deco Society of New York:
About the Event:
“This richly illustrated online event explores the moment when perfume entered the world of the decorative arts. Beginning with the groundbreaking experiments of Art Nouveau around 1900—led by figures such as Alfonse Mucha and Hector Guimard—and continuing through the bold elegance of Art Deco, French perfumeries collaborated with some of the most innovative artists of the early twentieth century. Designers such as Louis Süe and André Mare (for d’Orsay and Piver), alongside Jean Dunand, Jean-Michel Frank, Yvonne Brunet, and Mathurin Méheut, helped shape a new visual language for perfume—one that merged art, commerce, and modern taste with outstanding examples of Art Deco applied to commercial design. “

Jazz Age Book Club: The Glass Key Edition

Venue TBD.
About The Glass Key:
The Glass Key is a classic noir mystery written during the early Great Depression (1930-31) by Dashiell Hammett who forgoes the civic corruption of his previous book, Red Harvest, to explore the moral nuances of friendship, loyalty, and betrayal.
Ned Beaumont is a gambler and a professional troubleshooter for his friend Paul Madvig, a cheerfully corrupt political power broker who aspires to greater things. Madvig has his eyes set on none other than the daughter of Senator Ralph Bancroft Henry, the heiress to a dynasty of political purebreds. When the senator’s son turns up dead, Madvig becomes the prime suspect. But if he is innocent, then which of his dozens of enemies is doing an awfully good job of framing him?
Dashiell Hammett’s tour de force of crime fiction combines a bulletproof plot, authentically corrupt characters, and writing of telegraphic crispness.

Why are we having an outing at a ball game? Check out our blog on the brief history of Spring Training in Greater Phoenix!
All guests are invited to purchase their own tickets. We will be sitting on the lawn which is general admission.
The Lawn at Salt River Field offers a unique opportunity to view a Major League Baseball game during spring training. All lawn tickets are general admission.

FAQS about Salt River Fields HERE.

Details:

Where: Salt River Fields at Talking Stick: 7555 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258 center field gate

What to Expect in the Lawn
While, you won’t have an actual seat, many fans bring blankets to sit or lay on in the lawn at Salt River Field. There are plenty of options for concessions in the center field plaza located in between the left and right field lawn sections.
There’s a good chance it will be sunny in the lawn sections so be sure to pack some sunscreen. If you forget, don’t worry there are typically tow carts in the lawn area that distribute complimentary sunscreen to make your experience that much better.
One of the most exciting elements of a baseball game is the chance to catch a home run. Lawn seats provide an excellent opportunity to catch a home run ball, especially during a game that is less crowded.

FAQS about Salt River Fields HERE.

Baseball and Phoenix have quite the history.
Spring Training in Arizona began taking shape in the late 1940s, when Cleveland Indians owner Bill Veeck moved his team to Tucson in 1947, motivated partly by his desire to spare newly signed Larry Doby from the segregation of the Jim Crow South. Giants owner Horace Stoneham soon followed, influenced by Veeck and by the healing mineral springs at Mesa’s famous Buckhorn Baths. Their arrival established the foundation of what became the Cactus League.
Throughout the 1950s–70s, more Major League clubs—including the Cubs, Orioles, Angels, A’s, Padres, and others—moved their spring operations to Arizona, supported by new ballparks and strong local investment. By the 1990s and 2000s, modern shared complexes helped fuel rapid expansion.
Today, the Cactus League hosts 15 teams, matching Florida’s Grapefruit League, and remains a major part of baseball culture. Its early years left a unique legacy shaped by iconic players, integrated accommodations at the Buckhorn Baths, and the growth of Arizona into a premier spring training destination.

Ellie Andrews has just tied the knot with society aviator King Westley when she is whisked away to her father’s yacht and out of King’s clutches. Ellie jumps ship and eventually winds up on a bus headed back to her husband. Reluctantly she must accept the help of out-of- work reporter Peter Warne. Actually, Warne doesn’t give her any choice: either she sticks with him until he gets her back to her husband, or he’ll blow the whistle on Ellie to her father. Either way, Peter gets what (he thinks!) he wants …. a really juicy newspaper story. This film won 5 Oscars including Best Picture – a must see.

Going Attractions: The Definitive Story of Movie Palaces celebrates the grandeur of the great cinemas of the United States.

The film also tracks the theaters’ eventual decline, through to current-day preservation efforts.

About the film:
In the depths of the Depression, a party game brings dizzy socialite Irene Bullock to the city dump where she meets Godfrey, a derelict, and ends by hiring him as family butler. He finds the Bullocks to be the epitome of idle rich, and nutty as the proverbial fruitcake. Soon, the dramatizing Irene is in love with her ‘protege’…who feels strongly that a romance between servant and employer is out of place, regardless of that servant’s mysterious past... (IMBD)

About the Professional Building:
The Professional Building was completed in 1932 by the architectural firm of Morgan, Walls, & Clements, originally constructed as the “National Valley Bank” building. The bank resided on the ground floor, and other floors of the high-rise were reserved for medical offices. It’s impossible not to notice the original brass elevators and marble floors that invite you to the large open-air lobby. This interior was vacant for two decades until it was renovated and restored to its former glory, featuring stunning Art Deco pillars and zig-zag motifs replicated in the original color scheme.
Since 2013, Hilton Garden Inn takes over the entire building with a modest bar, Monroe’s, on the ground floor with lounge and cocktail seating. Monroe’s offers a full-service bar menu and a place for guests to relax and unwind. In addition to some tasty beverages, we also serve a selection of upscale bar-food ranging from burgers and wings to tacos and salad.
