Join us for a field trip to the Washington Antique Show at the Katzen Arts Center at American University. DACOR members will meet at 12:15 in the main exhibit that features "Marks of Friendship: 250 Years of Diplomatic Treasures" on Saturday, January 10. You may explore the exhibits, lectures and dealers with the DACOR Group for as long as you would like. The day's events conclude with a Jazz Night from 6 to 8pm (If you're still at the show). You are also free to splinter off from the group to attend your preferred lectures and other activities. House And Garden Committee Co-chair Jewel Maune will lead the group.
Attendees are responsible for securing their own tickets. General admission tickets cost $25 at the door (includes jazz night). There are many additional lectures and sessions. Please visit the show's website, and if you want to attend a specific one, please be sure to pre-purchase your ticket (specific events' tickets include general admission) so you are guaranteed a seat.
