AVENUE Antiques & Art at the Armory (formerly Wendy Show) returned to the Park Avenue Armory on Wednesday, December 2nd, when over 400 New Yorkers celebrated its opening with a private preview and cocktail reception to benefit The American Cancer Society’s HOPE LODGE Jerome L. Greene Family Center (NYC). HOPE LODGE NYC provides cancer patients and their families a free, temporary place to stay when their best hope for effective treatment requires them to stay in New York City.
Richard Mishaan, one of New York’s most prominent interior designers, serves as Creative Director, providing the signature look in both color and overall decor for the entire show which runs from Thursday, December 3rd to Sunday, December 6th.
The show is designed for consumers who regularly pursue the best of everything, who also have gift giving in mind as the show’s dates correspond to the winter holiday season. An assortment of dealers specializing in antique English and American silver share the floor with dealers who showcase contemporary and vintage jewelry antique American, English and Swedish furniture, American, Asian and European porcelain, antique flags, Russian antiquities, rare books, antique rugs and objets d’art of all kinds in keeping with varying tastes and price points. According to Mr. Mishaan, "A well-decorated home is filled with pieces of all periods and prices. It is the mix that creates excitement."
In addition, AVENUE Antiques & Art at the Armory has forged a partnership with The Royal Oak Foundation, which will provide important lectures during the run of the show and whose board members and major supporters are expected at the opening. The Royal Oak Foundation, which engages Americans in the work of the National Trust of England, Wales & Northern Ireland, has granted “Timeless Design Awards” to such American patrons of design and preservation as Mario Buatta and Bunny Williams.
AVENUE Antiques & Art at the Armory is proud to welcome Brooks Brothers and The Pierre Hotel as lead sponsors.

ABOUT THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing more than $3.4 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year. To learn more about us or to get help, call us any time, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.
