What is Happening Now at the 2026 The Winter Show
The Winter Show is back for its 72nd year with antiques and much more.
Celebrating its 72nd anniversary, The Winter Show has opened at the historic Park Avenue Armory in downtown Manhattan. One of the largest antique shows in the country, the event will be on view until February 1. This year’s show features more than 70 dealers from around the world and will include everything from fine art to antiques to jewelry.
Exhibitors, both new and established, are presenting. Among the “newbies” are Switzerland’s Galerie Cahn with Ancient Greek, Etruscan, and Roman art, Texas’s Gallery 19C, which focuses exclusively on 19th-century works, and London’s Symbolic & Chase with fine jewelry and objets d’art.
Those returning are some well-known and beloved names in the antique world, such as antique European jewelry and Fabergé dealer A La Vieille Russie, antique English, Irish, Scottish, and American silver retailer SJ Shrubsole, and garden décor specialist Barbara Israel Garden Antiques.
Also on view is the installation, The Discerning Eye: Study of a Young Collector, featuring works from 11 upcoming international dealers. Curated by art advisor and writer Patrick Monahan, with Executive Director of The Winter Show Helen Allen, the immersive show replicates a study of an imaginary collector through paintings, furniture, and objects spanning time.
A special aspect of The Winter Show is its fundraising for the East Side House Settlement, a non-profit that serves the Bronx and Northern Manhattan. “For 72 years, The Winter Show has been a beacon of excellence, presenting museum-quality works that inspire and engage,” said Helen Allen in a press release. “But the Show’s purpose reaches far beyond the Armory. At its core, it is about supporting East Side House and advancing its vital work in empowering communities through education and opportunity.” Sales from tickets and benefits will go directly to the organization and impact its education, workforce, and supportive programs.
“Since the inception of The Winter Show, East Side House has worked hand in hand to uplift thousands of New Yorkers,” said Daniel Diaz, Executive Director of East Side House Settlement, in a Winter Show press release. “In 2026, we will continue to build on the momentum of opening the Bronx’s first innovative healthcare-focused CTE charter high school, while advancing transformative capital projects that will shape the borough’s future. These initiatives are not just infrastructure; they are investments in opportunity. With The Winter Show’s support, we are laying stronger foundations for generations to come.”
