The Historic New Orleans Collection will present the 2nd annual New Orleans Antiques Forum August 6–9. This year’s program, “In Search of Southern Style,” will feature nationally acclaimed presenters discussing topics such as southern architecture and silver, decorating trends of the South’s governor’s mansions, and the influences of French aesthetics and New York artists on decorative arts in the South.
“Today, New Orleans is regarded as one of the South’s major destinations for antiques,” said Burl Salmon, event organizer and director of development and external affairs at The Collection. “With this event, we hope to shed light on how the city’s love affair with antiques began, and this program in particular will examine the city’s role in the emergence of southern style.”
The four-day event includes three days of sessions intermingled with receptions, tours and shopping excursions. J. Thomas Savage of Winterthur Museum and Country Estate in Delaware will moderate the program, which features speakers from such distinguished institutions as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Carnegie Institute of Art, Yale University and Tulane University, among others.
Those interested in attending the event may choose from three registration packages ranging in price from $100 to $200 per person. Registration is open now through July 15. For more information, visit www.hnoc.org/antiques.htm or call (504) 523-4662.
