Gustav Stickley and the American Arts and Crafts Movement Saturday, June 18, 2011 - September 11, 2011 Free after Museum admission A key figure in any history of 20th century design, Gustav Stickley is the single most important personality when discussing the American Arts and Crafts movement.  This exhibition examines his  contributions to the history of American design and architecture during his most productive and creative period, from 1900 to 1913.  The exhibition gives a broad survey of Stickley’s work as a designer and demonstrates how his furniture, textiles, architectural designs, and metalwork were part of a broader philosophy for living.   Learn More Gustav Stickley.
