AADLA Centennial Exhibition
The Art and Antique Dealers League of America will mark its centennial year with a landmark group exhibition in New York City, open to the public May 14–18, 2026, at Freeman’s Auctions. Held during the same week as TEFAF New York at the Park Avenue Armory, the exhibition gives collectors, curators, and visitors an opportunity to meet AADLA member dealers and view selected works across fine art, antiques, decorative arts, furniture, works on paper, and related specialties. Admission is complimentary. Hours are May 14–17 from 11 AM to 5 PM, with extended hours Friday, May 15 until 8 PM.
The Winter Show NYC
The Winter Show, held annually at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, is America’s premier art, antiques, and design fair. Running for ten days each winter, most recently from January 24 to February 2, 2025, the event showcases works spanning 5,000 years from over 70 internationally renowned dealers, including paintings, furniture, ceramics, jewelry, and fine decorative arts. The show highlights works that have undergone a rigorous vetting process, led by approximately 120 experts, to ensure the authenticity, quality, and condition of every item. Though this fair isn’t directly hosted by AADLA, many of your member galleries exhibit there each winter.
12 Days of Christmas
Each holiday season, the 12 Days of Christmas event (also known as the AADLA Virtual Holiday Art & Antiques Show) runs virtually from December 5 through December 16, pairing AADLA’s distinguished dealers with Incollect and NAADAA tech platforms. For twelve consecutive days, each exhibitor posts one featured piece—ranging from Old Master drawings and fine furniture to jewelry, paintings, silver, and rare books—creating a dynamic, curated “piece‑a‑day” experience for collectors and holiday shoppers. This annual virtual fair spotlights the best of AADLA’s membership and attracts collectors seeking standout treasures.
Treasures from the Attic: An Appraisal Event
In partnership with the Nassau County Museum of Art in Roslyn Harbor, AADLA presents Treasures from the Attic: An Appraisal Event, a hands-on appraisal event where visitors bring their heirlooms for expert evaluation. Its inaugural edition took place on Sunday, November 10, 2024, from 2–5 pm, and it is returning this September! Participants can have their items appraised live by top specialists in categories such as jewelry, decorative arts, paintings, silver, clocks, and more. The event also includes entry to museum exhibitions, and proceeds benefit NCMA’s ongoing programs and exhibitions.
