Society of Decorative Painters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Society of Decorative Painters (SDP) was formed in 1972 to promote interest in decorative painting. Decorative painting includes all styles of painting including Tole painting or Rosemaling. The organization is a "not-for-profit" organization but it does not have tax exempt status.
In 2008, the Society was responsible for finding an artist to paint Christmas ornaments for use in the White House.[1] In 2009, SDP members helped produce holiday decorations for use in the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[2] After 50 years, the Society disbanded in December of 2022.
