National Capital Winter Antiques Show Postponed: Armacost Antiques Shows To Announce 2008 Date

WASHINGTON, D.C. —– “We put the decision off as long as possible but finally on Monday, September 24, we officially postponed our National Capital Winter Antiques Show until 2008,” Bob James of Armacost Antiques Shows told Antiques and The Arts Weekly the next day.

“It was in the best interest of everyone and we are now working to launch the show next year during the same time period,” he said.

The show was set for November 30–December 2 at the DC National Guard Armory on East Capital Street.

Management had hoped to have 150 exhibitors in this new show, and would have even gone ahead with 100 dealers.

“With only 60 days to go we had about 80 dealers in place, and the balance was still tentative,” Bob James said, adding, “There was too much at risk to see it work out in the time remaining. Too many of the dealers said they would come, but had not confirmed.”

Armacost Antiques Shows manages nine events during the year including shows in Annapolis, Hunt Valley, Historic Alexandria, Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford, and several Florida locations. New dates, location and other details concerning the 2008 National Capital Winter Antiques Show will be released in the near future.

‘JANET SLOM: INSPIRED LINE’ AT ULLA SURLAND OCT. 13 w/1 cut

avv/gs set 9/25 #713553

FAIRFIELD, CONN. — Ulla Surland Gallery Eleven will present “Janet Slom: Inspired Line,” on view October 13–November 17. An opening reception will be October 20, from 6:30 to 9 pm.

Janet Slom was born in Rivonia, South Africa, where she grew up on a flower farm called “Shamballa.” Shamballa, the name of an ancient Tibetan philosophy that represents the common goodness in humankind, was an international study center of Eastern philosophy. Of her childhood and early inspiration, Slom recalls, “It was a flower farm, really beautiful; rows and rows of the most exquisite colors. I was drawing and painting since I can remember.”

Slom has won numerous international awards and commissions. She studied painting at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, in the United States at the Art Students League of New York City and Bennington College of Bennington, Vt.

She is represented by galleries in German, Italy and the United States. She has had numerous solo exhibitions.

She is a painter, a teacher, dancer and yoga instructor. All aspects of her life work together and influencing one another. One aspect of her paintings bring to life the color of an oil-slick rainbow or the translucent filmy skin of a child’s bubble blown into the wind in the moment just before it pops.

The gallery is at 11 Unquowa Road. For information, 203-259-1572.
