With Americana Week under our belts, it’s time to move south to Nashville and Antiques Week there. Right now promoters and dealers are busy setting up for the Heart of Country Show and the Tailgate-Music Valley Show, this year in a new location.

We’ve created a full schedule of activities for the week on NashvilleAntiquesWeek.com. Following Nashville will be promotions for Asia Week NYC, Philadelphia Antiques Week,  Antiques Week NYC,  and others. Also planned is a site to promote a nationwide Antiques Week in the U.S. Information is available at www.antiquesweek.com

We’re also happy to report on the success of AmericanaWeek.com. It is estimated that we had a reach of 5,000 individuals visiting the site during Americana Week, a reach of 9,000 individuals in January and in the neighborhood of 26,000 from our launch in September until the close of Americana Week January 29.

The theme of the show is “Breaking Boundaries,” and the mix of antique and modern pretty much reflected that.

Scott Chalfant - Phladelphia Desk and Modern Painting

At David Rudd’s American Decorative Arts, a mission style sofa sported leather upholstery samples, making it clear that it’s easy to fit old into the new scenario.

Throughout, the look was crisp, clean and blended. If this isn’t a statement about the evolving aesthetic, I don’t know what is.
