The Grove Park Inn Arts & Crafts Conference also features the country's largest and most important Arts & Crafts antiques show of the year. More than fifty dealers from across the United States and England have been carefully selected for this show and bring to the Grove Park Inn a wide variety of furniture, art pottery, metalware, textiles, books and art. This is both a selling show, with very competitive prices, and an educational opportunity. The exhibitors are not only antiques dealers, they are each experts in their field - and enjoy sharing their research and information with you. 


Here you can view rare examples of Stickley, Roycroft and Limbert furniture, Rookwood, Grueby and Van Briggle pottery and Dirk van Erp, Karl Kipp and Liberty metalware - as well as their more common (and more affordable) counterparts:  Lifetime, Stickley Brothers and J.M. Young furniture, Roseville, Weller and Wheatley pottery and Old Mission Kopper Kraft, Roycroft and Heintz metalware.


Attendees who register for the three-day Conference Pass either directly through Bruce Johnson's office, this web site or by reserving a room at the Grove Park Inn do not need to purchase a separate ticket to any of the conference shows, including the Antiques Show.


The general public may purchase a ticket at the door for $10 that includes entry to the Antiques Show, the Contemporary Craftsfirms Show and the Books, Magazines & More Show for all three days. Tickets for high school and college students are $5. There is no charge for children under the age of 14. Due to the crowded aisles, strollers must be checked at the ticket booth.


Hours for the Antiques Show are Friday from 3:00pm-6:00pm; Saturday from Noon until 6:00pm; and Sunday from 11:00am until 4:00pm.


For security reasons, no antiques may be brought into the show and every purchase must have a receipt with it before leaving the show.
