New York Antiques Weekend
For the field of American decorative arts, the third week of January is the most exciting time of year. Curators, collectors, and dealers gather in New York for Antiques Week, which consists of auctions, antique shows, and special events. Each year the Trust organizes two days of activities for members as part of our Antiques Weekend. In addition to an expert-lead tour of the heralded Winter Antiques Show, participants are treated to behind-the-scenes tours of special exhibitions and important gallery installations as well as privileged visits to private collections in the city. In spite of the chilly winter weather, this event offers our members an excellent opportunity to participate in exciting moments in the decorative arts world. The Antiques Weekend is open to all members. Join today!
