ICADS MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS
ICADS Members regularly exchange information and news, assist each other with support for preservation activities, and welcome other ICADS Members during visits. A number of Member Societies produce periodic journals, bulletins and newsletters digitally and in print. All such publications are made available to other ICADS Member organizations. Several Member organizations also maintain active social media accounts and welcome participation from fellow Members. Additionally, while ICADS Members focus on Art Deco, a number of Societies also celebrate a wider breadth of modernism covering most of the twentieth century.
