Who We Are |
The CSDA/CCAD makes decorative arts and design accessible to all people through education, events, community partnerships, and volunteer opportunities. The Canadian Society of Decorative Arts/ Cercle canadien des arts décoratifs (CSDA/CCAD) is a Canadian charitable organization founded in 1981 by the generous support of the McDonald Stewart Foundation. CSDA/CCAD offers the decorative arts community a platform to connect with fellow enthusiasts, collectors, professionals, and students, all of whom share a passion for and promote the rich diversity of material culture and design. We host and promote local and national events that include online and in-person presentations by makers, collectors and decorative arts experts, luncheons, panel discussions, symposiums, and tours of private collections. Special member rates available to Canadians and beyond. Join and explore the numerous essays and critical reviews featured in our acclaimed magazine, Ornamentum, and discover intriguing perspectives on both historical and contemporary decorative arts and design. Express your creative and intellectual interests while fostering professional relationships and forming new friendships. CSDA/CCAD is dedicated to a policy of diversity, equity, and inclusion. |
