Preview Party
The Show’s Preview Party marks the beginning of the three-day Show in a truly grand fashion. The party is a leading social and fund-raising event and an increasingly important visitor attraction to Philadelphia.
New Collectors’ Night
While enjoying 60+ exhibitors booths, New Collectors are invited to sample wines, cheeses, and artisanal delights from area purveyors for this fourth annual event. Join other individuals with an appreciation for fine art, antiques, and accessories and desire to learn more for this fun evening at the Show.
Museum Member Monday
The 2013 show will be hosting its first Museum Member Monday, a day for patrons and supporters of museums and historical societies to see the show together, have a private guided show tour, and attend the afternoon panel discussion. As the show has expanded its exhibitor list to include more fine art, this initiative will delight fellow art lovers.
Events & Tours
The Show presents a series of outstanding special events including lectures by recognized experts and passionate collectors. Private Tours of notable antiques collections and historical sites are also available.
The Café and Bar
The Cafe, located on the Show floor, serves a wide variety of hearty soups, salads, sandwiches, gourmet desserts, and beverages for an affordable price. The Cafe is open daily during Show hours. The Bar has several service areas on the Show floor, offering cocktails and beverages during Show hours.
Designers’ Circle
The innovative Designers’ Circle is inspired by the 2012 Show’s designer rooms showcase. A select group of esteemed interior designers have been invited to join this exciting initiative. Explore each designer’s “inspiration piece,” a truly quintessential object selected from the treasures brought by our Exhibitors, that would serve as a starting point for creating one of their notable schemes.
