VISUAL ARTS

The Ellis Antiques Show ran for 49 years in Boston before closing its doors in 2008. The Boston Antiques Show ran for 21 years, with its final year in 2001. Re- launched in 2011 by Tony Fusco & Robert Four, the new Ellis Boston Antiques Show was a sensational success and the producers are proud to announce The Ellis Boston Antiques Show for October 18-21, 2012.

The show features 40 exhibitors of the highest quality, drawn from both past Ellis and Boston Antiques Show exhibitors as well as many new additions offering antiques, fine art, decorative arts, jewelry, silver, quilts, rare maps and prints and more.

Once again Boston, a world-class city, has a world-class antiques show and sale.

Gala Preview Benefit
The show opens with a Gala Preview on Thursday, October 18 to benefit Ellis Memorial & Eldredge House, Inc., Boston's first settlement house. Located in Boston's South End, Ellis Memorial has been caring for children, disabled adults, and families who live and work in the South End and adjacent neighborhoods since 1885.

The Venue - The Cyclorama
The Cyclorama, erected in 1884, is the signature building of the Boston Center for the Arts (BCA), and an ideal venue for this exciting show. It was built to exhibit a huge circular painting - The Battle of Gettysburg - and its circular floorplan encourages visitors to wander the entire show.
