An educational lecture series will further enhance the show each day with industry experts offering their extensive knowledge and background on a variety of captivating topics.

“The extraordinary assortment of antiques, jewelry and fine art available to view and purchase, all in one place, all at one time, paired with the level of expertise these dealers impart to our guests, cannot be found anywhere else in the United States,” said Kris Charamonde, co-owner and managing partner of the Palm Beach Show Group.

A highlight of this year’s event will be the unparalleled collections of 19th and 20th century American artwork from more than 20 nationally acclaimed dealers, including Thomas Colville Fine Art, Owen Gallery, John H. Surovek Gallery, Arader Galleries and Questroyal Fine Art. In addition, the Palm Beach Show Group is proud to welcome William H. Gerdts, one of the world’s most celebrated American art historians, to its stellar line-up of guest lecturers.
