SUMMARY:Splashing into History: The Transformation of Women's Swimming in the Art Deco Era
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a FREE history presentation and book talk with the author of Swimming Pretty: The Untold Story of Women in Water.\n\nJoin author Vicki Valosik as she discusses her new book\, Swimming Pretty: The Untold History of Women in Water—a groundbreaking history of how women found power in water\, written “with the precision and grace of an Esther Williams tableau” (Los Angeles Times). \nValosik’s illustrated talk will offer an engaging history of women’s empowerment through the water\, with a focus on the Art Deco era. \nIn the Victorian era\, few American women could swim\, but that all changed in the early 20th when they began throwing off their soggy petticoats and diving into the deep end. By the 1920s\, women were not only voting and bobbing their hair but becoming Olympic champions and stars of the sports pages. This transformation was made possible by female swimmers of the stage\, who used their athletic skills to entertain\, as well as to educate and inspire. Swimming Pretty—which Publisher’s Weekly described as “an incisive marriage of sports and cultural history”—traces a century of aquatic performance\, from vaudeville to the Olympic arena\, and brings to life the colorful cast of characters whose “pretty swimming” not only laid the groundwork for the sport of synchronized swimming but forever changed women’s relationships with water. \nFar more than bathing beauties\, these swimming starlets ushered in sensible swimwear and influenced lifesaving and physical education programs\, helping to drop national drowning rates and paving the way for new generations of female athletes. \nYou are welcome to purchase the book at Changing Hands! Vicki will stick around for a book signing as well. \n  \nDate: September 13\, 2024 \nTime: 7:00pm (please arrive a bit early to settle in!) \nLocation: Changing Hand’s Tempe: 6428 S McClintock Dr. Tempe\, AZ \n

SUMMARY:Cars in the Deco Era
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Art Deco Society will take on the Martin Auto Museum on September 28th! Martin Auto Museum has over 170 vehicles\, including classic cars\, hot rods\, customs\, imports\, and much more. It also has one of the largest collections of auto memorabilia\, antique gas pumps\, and signage anywhere! Whether you are a car expert or know nothing about them\, this event is for you. \nFor Society members\, an expert guide with Martin Auto Museum has hand-picked several deco cars to highlight the evolution of the automobile and their design in the Art Deco era – relating it to other mediums of decorative arts in the 1920s and 1930s. Art Deco elements in these automobiles can be found in architecture\, fashion\, industrial design\, and more. Learn about these marvels of engineering and art! \nUnlike other museums\, you can even step into these cars to see what it would have been like in the driver’s seat (and take some great photos)! After the tour\, you are encouraged to walk around the rest of the museum to experience cars from every era. Museum volunteers and guides can answer any question you may have on the collection. Each of these special cars has a story to tell. \nMartin Auto Museum is generously giving our Society a group discount – only $10 per ticket ($15 for non-members)! Your tickets will get you entry into the museum\, access to our curated Art Deco Society tour\, and access to the entire museum for as long as you wish. One could definitely spend the entire afternoon admiring their many exhibits. \nVintage attire is strongly encouraged! We will even have a photographer join us to take photos in and around these antique cars! \n  \nMake sure you are logged in to access our member ticket. Not a member? Become a member today!  \n \n \nDate: September 28th\, 2024 \nTime: 10:00am \nCars in the Deco Era Tour time: 10:30 \nPlease meet our board members in the lobby to gain access to the museum starting at 10am. You may wander the museum and join us back in the lobby area where the tour will start promptly at 10:30am. After the tour you are welcome to stay as long as you like.
