Alighting once again at New York’s Park Avenue Armory, the Winter Show is set to welcome more than 70 international exhibitors this January 24 through February 2, 2025. As the fair has done since 1954, the Winter Show will work in benefit to the East Side House Settlement, a charitable organization that serves the Bronx and Northern Manhattan offering community-based programming, resources, and services to roughly 14,000 residents every year.

Recently, the Winter Show announced the 2025 Design Council Co-Chairs, postitions named each year in honor of the greater design community by inviting leaders from the fields of architecture and interior design to help guide the show. This year, Design Co-Chairs include Christine Gachot, John Gachot, Elisabeth Graziolo, and David Netto, as well as Honorary Co-Chair Wendy Goodman of New York Magazine. Together, participants not only promote awareness of East Side House Settlement endeavors, but too help contextualize and enrichen the visitor experience and understanding of historical art and objects through bespoke contemporary installations.

“With every edition of The Winter Show, we are always excited to share the incredible works our dealers bring to the fair,” said Executive Director of the Winter Show Helen Allen. “This year, we are particularly pleased with the exciting range of works across time periods, styles, cultures, and makers. We are also proud to uphold our extremely high standards of excellence with our exhibitors, ensuring collectors and fair goers of every variety will see and experience truly remarkable and unique works. We will also return with our complementary programming that will feature panels and lectures led by experts across the fields of art and design.”

Across the booths, a number of first-time exhibitors will make their debut at the Winter Show this month, including Kunsthandel Nikolaus Kolhammer (Vienna), showcasing Viennese art and furniture; São Roque (Lisbon) presenting Portuguese art and antiques; and Hixenbaugh Ancient Art (New York), bringing a dynamic range of antiquities from the ancient world, just to name a few. Having new voices joining the Winter Show promises to ignite diverse dialogues and allow for novel perspectives across the fields of art, antiques, and design.

Together, the 70-plus exhibitors reflect the world’s top dealers and galleries, creating an invaluable annual opportunity for visitors to explore the rich history and present of the world’s material culture.
