CSDA/CCAD's mission seeks to make decorative arts and design accessible to all people through education, events, community partnerships and volunteer opportunities. CSDA/CCAD is dedicated to a policy of diversity, equity, and inclusion. What are the Decorative Arts?The CSDA/CCAD defines the decorative arts as creative works, often of a practical or useful nature, produced by an artist, craftsman or amateur, which have intrinsic aesthetic and/or historical value. These arts include interior design, furniture and furnishings, ceramics, glass, metalwork, graphics, textiles, theatre arts, together with aspects of architecture, industrial and landscape design. Learn from and be inspired by the ingenuity, and artistic grace of the diverse field of material culture. You will engage with objects that range from the eccentric to the magnificent, as well as creations that have become elevated to cultural icons. "How do we create objects and how do the objects we create shape us!" OrnamentumOrnamentum is Canada’s preeminent publication dedicated to exploring and cultivating the aesthetics of the everyday.
