Join us as we continue celebrating the Baker Community Center’s 100th anniversary with a program focusing on one of the most exciting time periods in American history. The 1920s was a decade famous for outrageous fashions and new freedoms for women. Art historian Jeff Mishur discusses images of flappers and flapper fashions, Art Deco design and urban scenes. Slides will be shown of paintings, posters, dresses, hats, period photographs, fashion accessories, advertisements, and magazine covers.
Jeff Mishur, vice president and co-owner of Art Excursions, holds an M.A. and a B.A. in the History of Art from Northern Illinois University. Jeff is a member of the Illinois Humanities Council’s speakers bureau and has taught courses in the History of Art at the university level.
