The Woman's Board of the Winnetka Community House will present The 17th Annual Modernism Show with top quality examples of Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, Prairie School, Art Deco, Art Moderne, Mid-Century and other 20th Century design movements. Furniture, paintings, illustrations, photographs, jewelry, metalwork, pottery, textiles, clothing and other decorative arts from these important periods of design will be offered for sale by dealers from across the United States.

Chicago is a noted birthplace of Modernism, and The Modernism Show in Winnetka is proudly among the first and finest of its kind in the nation. Over 50 outstanding and knowledgeable dealers from across North America and Europe will present their first-rate collections and be available to personally answer showgoers questions to help them discover Modernism for themselves. Many of these dealers exhibit nowhere else in the Midwest.
