Fall Design Week is September 21-23, 2020 at AmericasMart and DISCOVER ADAC is September 22-24, 2020
This September, International Market Centers (IMC) again showcases its comprehensive, dual-venue design resource for the southeast – the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center (ADAC) and AmericasMart® Atlanta – with adaptations for social distancing during the COVID-19 crisis.
Fall Design Week takes place September 21-23, 2020 in select AmericasMart showrooms with pre-market virtual programming; and DISCOVER ADAC takes place September 22-24 in ADAC’s year-round showrooms with three full days of digital programming for designers and design enthusiasts.
“Despite the pandemic, great design is still happening in Atlanta and across the southeast,” said Bob Maricich, IMC CEO. “As such, we are committed to continuing to present the hallmark elements of our design events – product discovery, the sharing of great ideas and the celebration of our local design community – in a modified format this September.”
Highlighting the virtual programming for both events is an expanded version of the “Directions in Design” initiative which will feature four southeastern designers curating virtual rooms using products from the ADAC and AmericasMart collections. Directions in Design 2020 focuses on wellness and well-being and design’s powerful and positive impact on people everywhere. The content goes live on September 14 and will be the topic of virtual events for both campuses.
This year, DISCOVER ADAC will virtually connect an international audience of design authorities, enthusiasts, and media to explore the enduring force of creativity that is redefining the concept of sanctuary in our homes and communities. For three days, from September 22-24, 2020, design enthusiasts are invited join ADAC online for inspirational presentations and product launches by acclaimed interior designers, creative visionaries, and the finest luxury brands in the business. ADAC’s 65 showrooms will be open during DISCOVER ADAC offering 1,200 furniture, fabric, rugs, lighting, accessories, floor and wall coverings, antiques, fine art and framing, kitchens, bath, tile and stone and home theater lines.
