Art
Deco in the Tropics - Innisfail
Inc., North Queensland, Australia
The
society was formed in 2002 after a town meeting facilitated
with the small town revitalisation facilitator Peter Kenyon.
Robin Grow President of Art Deco Society Inc. Victoria said
at the meeting that "Innisfail
had one of the largest collections of Art Deco buildings in
a CBD district in Australia".
Art Deco in the Tropics
- Innisfail Inc. was formed to promote and conserve the cultural
heritage of Innisfail and its surrounding districts and to
attract visitors to our unique town and its environment.
We
plan to do this by:
| • |
using education and
promotion to increase the awareness and understanding
of the Art Deco style |
| • |
promoting other styles
that relate to the Art Deco era |
| • |
working with Council
and building owners to encourage the retention, conservation
and appreciation of Art Deco buildings |
| • |
communicating with Art
Deco Societies in Australia and internationally |
| • |
working with educational
bodies to increase awareness of our Art Deco heritage |
| • |
working closely with
local businesses to increase their awareness of the economic
benefits of Art Deco tourism |
| • |
encouraging sympathetic
designs in new developments |
