Gustav Stickley exhibit at Dallas Museum of Art

[Texfire]

Just in case you're close enough to catch this, there's a show featuring the influence of Gustav Stickley on the American Arts and Craft movement.

Gustav Stickley and the American Arts & Crafts Movement will offer the first comprehensive examination of the life and work of the recognized patriarch of the American Arts & Crafts movement, Gustav Stickley. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue will explore Stickley as a business leader and design proselytizer, whose body of work included furnishings, architectural and interior designs, and related imagery that became synonymous with the movement that was at its height between approximately 1880 and 1910. This exhibition will include over 100 works produced by Stickley’s designers and workshops, including furniture, metalwork, lighting, and textiles, along with drawings and related designs. Also featured in the exhibition is a re-creation of Stickley’s seminal model dining room from his 1903 Syracuse Arts & Crafts exhibition.

Added bonus, they have a link to an archive of Stickley's 1901-1916 publication "The craftsman".

And there's a DIY portion of the exhibit that invites you to build a piece of furniture in Stickley style with possible inclusion of your project in a future exhibition.

I'm planning on seeing it before it goes.
