Art Deco Alive! Celebrates 100 Years of Art Deco with Cross-Continental Festival in Miami Beach and Mumbai

Mimami/Mumbai Art Deco Alive! (ADA!), a new global initiative marking the 100th anniversary of the Art Deco movement, launches this fall with an ambitious calendar of cultural programming across two of the world’s most architecturally rich cities: Miami, Florida, and Mumbai, India.

Bridging continents and time zones, Art Deco Alive! connects two iconic coastal cities – each home to the world’s largest collections of Art Deco clusters in the world – through an immersive celebration of design, heritage, and contemporary creative expression.

The festival is being organized in collaboration with key institutional partners, including the Miami Design Preservation League, Art Deco Mumbai Trust, The Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum and The Wolfsonian–FIU.
