With a mission to raise funds for the East Side House Settlement—benefitting New Yorkers in need—the long-running Winter Show returns to New York City’s Park Avenue Armory. This year, the event brings together over 70 exhibitors from around the world, and presents a range of fine art, antiques and design, while also featuring engaging programming.

Attendees enjoy a variety of artwork at last year’s Winter Show.

Besides the events philanthropic endeavors, The Winter Show features high-quality objects and artworks ranging from paintings, sculpture and works on paper, to fine furniture, jewelry, rare books, as well as ceramics and glass that span 5,000 years from antiquity to today.

Attendees will also enjoy an array of programming at the event, starting with the Opening Night Party on January 23, from 5 to 9 p.m., and the Young Collectors Night on January 30, from 6 to 9 p.m. “These events continue to attract new and familiar faces who are eager to connect through their shared passion of art and antiques and raise funds to support [our] mission…,” says Allen. In addition to several talks and panel discussion, FOCUS: Americana will also return this year, bringing together seven dealers who specialize in American folk art, fine art and antiques.
