| Summary: |
The Art Directors Club of Philadelphia was organized in 1924 as a chapter of the New York club by ten local art directors. As the organization matured so did its objectives. It had as its original purpose in the twenties and thirties purely professional interests. Then, in the late fifties through the sixties the Club achieved its zenith by espousing such causes as the Bi-centennial, urban design and the rescue of Florentine Art. The Club was also dedicated to encouraging city officials to recognize the arts as vital to social welfare, which was also applauded by the press and television.
