MORE DETAILS ON NEW ART DECO POP-UP STORE IN BETHESDA

The windows have been covered at the Art Deco pop-up store expected to open this Friday at 7920 Norfolk Avenue in downtown Bethesda. But a notice posted on the storefront contains new details about the store, which may (or may not) be called As Time Goes Buy.

Open through January 3, 2015, the store will feature "a collection of historic artifacts that reflect 'a moment in time,' as seen through the artistry of famous and also little-known, often obscure, brilliant artists and designers of the day."

The "Dare to Deco" collection will also feature works from the 19th and 20th century, as well as replicas made from the artists' original molds.

The wishful pondering over what might take over Douglas Development's space at 7920 Norfolk Avenue is over - temporarily. An art deco pop-up store will open in the former Berry Yogurt space this Friday, October 17, and operate through January 3. Inventory includes paintings, furniture and other objets d'art. Movers were unpacking at the store last evening.

While the lease is certain, a last minute naming decision remains. The owner of the business is currently considering Chronicles or Time Goes By as possible names.

As a fanatic of all things Art Deco (including the Bethesda Theater and Glen Echo Amusement Park), this sounds like something interesting to check out when it opens.
