Thursday 24 April 2025 | 7-8pm | 54 Bell Street, Glasgow, G1 1LQ & Online
Join Bruce Peter, Professor of Design History at The Glasgow School of Art, to hear about his new book ‘Art Deco Scotland: Design and Architecture in the Jazz Age’. Published by Historic Environment Scotland in March 2025, it celebrates the centenary of the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in Paris where the first examples of Art Deco style were displayed.
Bruce will contextualise the emergence of Art Deco in Scotland with a focus on Glasgow, showing how established decorative arts traditions and Beaux Arts-influenced approaches to architectural composition were adapted. He’ll also highlight key works by Glasgow’s architects, sculptors, and designers who helped shape the Art Deco and moderne styles.
This event will be held both in-person at our office on 54 Bell Street and streamed online via Zoom. Please pick the appropriate ticket option for you below.
Free, donations welcome, booking essential.
