Pottery, modernism and Big Flea together
CHANTILLY, Va. — Three different shows will converge on the Dulles Expo Center May 4-5 to provide shoppers with an “Antiques Trifecta.” The American Art Pottery Association Show, the Washington Art Deco/Modernism Show and the DC Big Flea Antique Market will provide a wide variety for shoppers to pursue.

The American Art Pottery Association’s (AAPA) Show & Sale has been conducted annually since 1983. The event travels to a different city each year. The convention includes educational seminars, tours, exhibits, and more. It concludes with the show and sale with displays of American art pottery, vintage and contemporary, as well as some European pieces. Several contemporary potters will also participate, selling their wares.

The Washington Modernism Show, which is produced by the Art Deco Society of Washington (ADSW), started in 1983 as the Exposition of Decorative Arts, primarily an Art Deco show, which gradually expanded to include other design movements of the 20th century and now includes the sale of all 20th Century design movements.

The DC Big Flea Antiques Market is produced by D’Amore Promotions, which has been presenting antiques and collectible shows throughout the Mid-Atlantic states for 40 years. It has steadily earned the reputation as the most successful, and largest, antiques market in the Mid-Atlantic region hosting more than 500 exhibitor booths of antiques and collectibles, including period and vintage antiques to mid-century modern. This flagship show started more than 20 years ago, and its popularity and size continues to thrive with six fabulous shows each year.

The ADSW show has been held in conjunction with the DC Big Flea for the last three years. This year there will be 550-plus antiques booths in the South Hall, and 120 in the North Hall. Admission covers all three shows.

AAPA and ADSW will conduct mini educational seminars in the form of ’Booth Chats’ in the North Hall during show hours on Saturday and Sunday. Booth chats are small informative discussions, whereby a topic is introduced by an exhibitor, and after a brief intro, there will be a question and answer session. These informative chats allow the participants to see and learn about different topics of interest and to view examples of a specific collecting genre, firsthand. A list of topics will be available onsite, and in the AAPA/ADSW Show Program, which will include a floor plan of the dealers in the North Hall, and will be distributed at the entrances to the show.
