The Art Deco Society of Washington marks the 25th anniversary of its
Modernism show promising that the show will, as Cliff Friend's 1929 song
goes, be "Bigger and Better Than Ever." Before joining forces with
Pappabello Show Management and the Arlington Kiwanis to launch the first
Northern Virginia Antiques & Modernism Show in 2007, the Society ran its
own Modernism show -- the Exposition of the Decorative Arts -- for 23
years. The show is the major source of funding for ADSW's preservation
and education programs.

We've made a number of improvements this year, for your show-going
pleasure. There will be an experienced caterer, so refreshments will be
plentiful. There will be an onsite ATM and credit card processing for
your convenience. A guide to participating Modernism dealers will be
available at the show and posted at www.adsw.org.

The Art Deco Society focused on expanding the number of Modernism
dealers. Art Deco Society members crave period fashions but, in 2007,
only one dealer offered vintage clothing. This year, at least four
dealers will have vintage clothing and accessories. Lisa Victoria
Vintage (New York), GiltyLily by Lori Haddad (Massachusetts), and
Kathleen Cassedy (Maryland) join the show.

In addition to vintage clothing and accessories, participating Modernism
dealers will offer a wide range of collectibles for every taste and in
every price range -- jewelry, watches, World's Fair, clocks, radios,
furniture, graphic arts, chrome, silver, ceramics, glass, lighting,
bronzes and much more.

Among the Modernism dealers joining the show this year are Deco Haus
(New Jersey), L'Iris Bleu (Paris, France), Skyscraper (New York),
Auerbach & Maffia (Pennsylvania), METRO Interiors (Washington, D.C.),
Spencer Weisz Gallery (Illinois), Just About Modern (Florida), Antique
Underground (New York), Modern for All (Virginia), and Charley Harper
Studio (Ohio). Add this to a cadre of returning dealers and the show
promises selection that is bigger and better than ever. Many of the
returning dealers, such as Deco Doug (Michigan), John Ribar (New York),
Try to Remember (Maryland), and Past Pleasures (Virginia) have been with
the show for more than 15 years.

For many of the dealers exhibiting at the Northern Virginia Antiques &
Modernism Show, this will be their only show in the mid-Atlantic region.
These include:
	Charley Harper Studio exhibiting the Modernist Art of the late Charlie
Harper. Known for his wildlife drawings, Harper frequently created cover
art for Ford Times magazine.
	Spencer Weisz Gallery exhibiting original European posters including
turn-of-the-century stone lithographs.
	Antique Undergound exhibiting important works by Waylande Gregory, a
sculptor known for works ranging from early designs for Cowan Pottery to
the monumental fountains at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
	Just About Modern, returning to the Washington area for the first time
in several years. Co-owner Jim Medeiros ran the Art Deco Society show
for several years in the 1990s before moving to Massachusetts and, more
recently, to Florida.
	L'Iris Bleu exhibiting French Art Deco clocks, cocktail shakers,
smoking accessories, and table accessories.

In addition to Modernism, the Northern Virginia Antiques & Modernism
Show features over 100 general antiques dealers. There’s something for
every taste in this impressive show.

The Reverie Jazz Trio (Amy Kean, Terrance Kean, and Dave Tucker) will
set the mood for Saturday shoppers, playing early jazz standards. To
learn more about the Reverie Jazz Trio and listen to an audio clip click
here http://www.reveriejazz.com/. A group organized by the Kiwanis will
play Sunday from 12:30-2:30. The group "Attorneys @ Music with Friends",
features Arlington's legendary fiddle player Roy "Speedy" Tolliver. They
will play Blue grass, folk-country, popular, and traditional music.

One important change to this year's Northern Virginia Antiques &
Modernism Show is that both ADSW & customers will benefit from "will
call" admissions. Proceeds from sale of "will call" tickets will be
shared by ADSW and the Arlington Kiwanis to support their community
projects. In addition, customers save $1 on each $7 ticket "reserved" at
the ADSW website. No payment required upfront. Simply collect and pay
for your ticket at the "Will Call" desk at the show.
