DDA’s Rose Oliver attended the Edgar Miller Legacy’s ‘Flash Smash’ annual charity fundraiser in Chicago in early October.
The event featured reviews of the Edgar Miller Legacy charity events and outreach, honoured several key supporters and fundraisers for their hard work, and enabled a keen audience to enjoy the life and legacy of the Chicago native’s architectural and artistic design heritage.
“While most well-known for his awe-inspiringly meticulously crafted Handmade Homes in Chicago, Edgar Miller matured professionally as an artist-designer just as the practice of modern graphic design was being pioneered in the 1920s through 1930s. This year’s temporary exhibition — The Timeless Modern — explores the evolution of Miller’s graphic design work, reflecting the revolutionary changes in media, messaging, and aesthetics of the time.” https://www.edgarmiller.org/fs21
