Twentieth Anniversary of the CALM Antiques and Vintage Show.
May 18th, 19th & 20th 

The CALM Antiques & Vintage  Show and Sale is celebrating  its Twentieth Anniversary. Twenty years ago the CALM Auxiliary was looking for a new fundraiser.  April Thede recognized that Santa Barbara needed a quality, vetted and genuine antiques show. With the help of two Los Angeles show promoters, E.E. Bustamante and Jim McKenzie of the Dorothy Emerson Show the first CALM Antiques Show debuted in July of 1992. Through the years the CALM ANTIQUES and VINTAGE Show and Sale has evolved into one of the most sought after shows on the West Coast.

The eighty national and international dealers in the show consistently bring not only a large selection and variety of merchandise but an array of choice items that make it possible for the beginning collector and the most discriminating connoisseur to find a treasure to buy. 

Beginning Friday May 18th and continuing through  the weekend,  the Earl Warren Showgrounds will be filled to the rafters with beautiful antiques and unique decorative pieces brought to Santa Barbara by 80 dealers from all over the west coast. 

Whether your interest is in Antiques or the Decorative  Arts, be it Vintage, Modernism, Art Deco, Arts & Crafts, or Victorian there will be something for everyone. Eighty of the west’s finest dealers specializing in  Antiques and Decorative Arts will be selling period furniture, garden artifacts, decorative accessories, paintings estate jewelry, silver, textiles, linens, glassware, china, porcelain, and   much, much  more. So join us, May 18th, 19th, & 20th  at Santa Barbara’s Earl Warren Showgrounds (Hwy 101 at Las Positas) and come see what everyone is talking about.  http://www.calmantiqueshow.com

In 1980, founding Auxiliary member April Thede began the Miniature and Doll Show at Earl Warren Showgrounds. The show drew 150 dealers and spanned 12 successful years. In 1992 April began the CALM Antique and Decorative Arts Show and Sale. This event, more popular now than ever, brings the finest Antique Dealers to Santa Barbara, and is held three times each year, at the Earl Warren Showgrounds. Through countless hours of dedicated work, April and the CALM Auxiliary have elevated small benefit events to thriving events providing much needed support each year for the vital programs at CALM.

“CALM’s Antique and Vintage Decorative Arts Show and Sale would be welcome in Boston, Manhattan, Chicago – any place where connoisseurs gather to celebrate our legacy of 17th to 20th century decorative arts. Collectors from L.A. and the City by the Bay will be shopping the 80 blue chip dealers as well.”
– Bob Dannenbaum, West Coast Peddler
