VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES 

Volunteering offers incredible opportunities to CSDA/CCAD members and persons interested in the Decorative Arts. In addition to making a difference, it provides volunteers with opportunities to build relationships with like-minded people, connect with the Decorative Arts community, develop new skills, and hone existing ones. The list of benefits is lengthy and these opportunities are available to individuals who want to make a difference. Participation as a volunteer can be in person, by phone, or via the internet.

MARIAN BRADSHAW

In Memoriam

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Marian Hahn Bradshaw this past October 2018. A founding member of the Canadian Society of Decorative Arts in 1981, Marian was a collector, teacher and enthusiastic ambassador of all forms of decorative arts.

Marian’s love of the decorative arts had familial roots. Her father was a notable collector of Chinese lacquer, now displayed in the Royal Ontario Museum Galleries. While her range of interest was broad, she had a particular devotion to her home of Canada and its art. Her efforts brought Canadiana into main stream decorative arts.

Under Marian’s guidance Ornamentum magazine was brought to the public sphere, which the CSDA/CCAD has published for fourteen years.

We are thankful for Marian’s sharing her passion for the decorative arts with us and leaving such a lasting legacy.

In 2019 with the help of Marian's family, colleagues and friends we have launched the MARIAN BRADSHAW MEMORIAL LECTURE which will be held annually during our symposium or at a special venue.
