Antiques, Art and Spanish influence at 2015 Gala
The Art & Antiques Show gala, presented by the Women’s Board of Wolfson Children’s Hospital, rolled out the red carpet and invited guests to ¡Viva España!, Dec. 4. The intriguing evening, a high point for the social season, is highlighted by antique furnishings, decorative accessories, fine art, collectibles, rugs and jewelry from top antiques dealers from around the country.
The four-day event, held annually at the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center, begins with a black tie Benefactor Preview Reception followed by the Opening Night Party. The remainder of the weekend features lectures from nationally-renowned interior designers, event and floral designers. The Children’s Fashion Show, featuring current and former patients of Wolfson Children’s Hospital, is a crowd pleaser each year as well.
For the past 38 years, the mission of increasing awareness and raising funds for Wolfson Children’s Hospital has grown to reach women across the First Coast. With approximately 400 members, The Women’s Board has raised more than $26 million for facilities, equipment and programs.
