Newport Show 2014

Everyone who experiences the Newport Antiques Show understands that this is an elegant event. But, the Show is not only an opportunity to shop for one-of-a-kind items, it is also a fundraiser that is vital to the Newport community. As the country’s only high end antiques Show with two beneficiaries -- the Newport Historical Society and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County -- the Show has raised a cumulative total of over $1.6 million in support of Newport’s past and Newport’s future. Some of the proceeds are earned through ticket sales to the Gala Preview Party, but the bulk of the income is due to our great group of sponsors. Over the last seven years our Presenting Sponsor has been William Vareika Fine Arts, LTD, who is a regular Show exhibitor. This year we are thrilled to have American Realty Capital / RCS Capital join us as the Presenting Sponsor . And we are equally proud to have Franklin & Company Design Associates sponsor the Gala Preview Party. The Show’s Contributing Sponsors include: Amica Insurance, Antiques & Fine Art Magazine , Freeman’s Auctioneers & Appraisers and Vanderbilt International Properties along with Ballard Exploration, Corrigan Financial, The Howard Johnson Hotel Group and Jessica Hagen Fine Art + Design. It takes many hands to make the Newport Antiques Show a success. We are grateful to our Show Chair Anne Hamilton and Show Manager Diana Bittel who work many hours behind the scenes to ensure that everything runs smoothly. We’d also like to thank our dealers, who travel far and wide to feature their antiques in our town Also, thanks to the presenters of our loan exhibit, the Rhode Island Historical Society, for working with the NHS to unveil Fifty Objects That Shaped Rhode Island History at the Newport Antiques Show. We thank you again for helping us celebrate all things old and beautiful at the Newport Antiques Show!
