April our focus becomes almost entirely the Los Angeles Antiques Show. This is a big event for us, as its the premier West Coast art and antiques show. As well, its a fun show to do, because, not surprising, there are plenty of celebrities who annually come to see us. Barbra Streisand, Jack Nicholson, Jennifer Aniston, Martin Sheen, and Steven Spielberg are always there, and, bless them, buy something, sometimes many things.
This year, a considerable effort has been made to sex up the look of the show with redesigned graphics and new life has been given to the show, as well, with the work of the benefit charity, PS Arts. This is a dynamic organization well supported by the 30 and 40 somethings with a mission to support arts instruction in public schools where it exists, and bring it back into those schools where, tragically, it has vanished. Good luck to them, and good luck in their efforts to make the gala preview on April 25 a success. The venue is Barker Hanger at the Santa Monica Airport, easily accessible from either the Santa Monica or the San Diego freeways. This year, the show runs from Thursday, April 26 through Sunday, April 29, a day longer than it has in the past.
