D.E.A.F. Media, Inc. and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco are pleased to announce...

A D.E.A.F. MEDIA Docent Tour: "ART DECO 1910-1939" with RON TRUMBLE

WHAT:
Glamorous, exotic, and vibrant, Art Deco is widely considered the most popular style of the 20th century. San Francisco will be one of only two American venues for Art Deco: 1910-1939, the extraordinary exhibition organized by the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Art Deco looks at the sources of inspiration and the global impact of this phenomenally popular style of the early 20th century, a style that was synonymous with glamour, sophistication, and luxury.

The tour will include voice interpretation by Patty Lessard and Ric Owen.

WHEN: Sunday, June 13, 9 a.m.*

(* The early hour allows us in before the museum is officially open to the public. This helps us to see the exhibit better--with less crowds.)
