The Decorative Arts Society
The Decorative Arts Society (DAS) is a charitable society based in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1975 with the aim of encouraging the appreciation and study of architecture, the applied arts, and interior design from 1850 onwards.[1][not in citation given] The society organises events in the UK, international tours, study days, conferences, sometimes in conjunction with other societies, for example in 2012 when the William Shipley Group for RSA History[2] organised a conference on the International Exhibition of 1862. This was documented in a special edition of the DAS Journal. A newsletter is published three times each year and there is an annual journal publication[3], The Journal of The Decorative Arts Society.[4]
The society occasionally awards grants and bursaries to assist museums and individual researchers. For example, in September 2017, Portsmouth Museum was awarded a Collections Access Grant for the professional photography of sixty-three pieces of ceramics and decorative art objects.[5] The Collection Access Grant 2016 was given to the William Morris Gallery to support the restoration of a decorative Japanese screen owned by artist Frank Brangwyn.[6] In November 2015, a Collections Access Grant was given to Bury Art Museum for the project to publish a catalogue of its collection of Pilkington’s Royal Lancastrian Pottery.[7]
The Chairman is Martin P. Levy.[8]
