CREATORS

* Onondaga Silk Company (American, 1933–1981)  - manufacturer
Founded in 1918, by 1930 the Onondaga Silk Company had merged with Old Colony Silk Mills of New Bedford, Massachusetts. They had three mills, in Syracuse and Ogdensburg, New York, and in Easton, Pennsylvania, and offices in Chicago as well as New York City. They produced a wide range of fabrics beyond printed silks. In the late 1940s, Onondaga collaborated with the Midtown Galleries of New York to create a line of printed silks called the American Artist Print Series. Six American artists created 22 designs; the collaborators presented the series—original paintings to finished garments—to the American public in spring 1947.
