David Sokosh will pay a visit to the Fine Art Fair at the National Academy in New York City for Urban Art & Antiques. Established in 2008, the fair focuses on the grand tradition of American art established early in the 19th century and gathers more than 200 works in a virtual “group show” by National Academy members and their circle. The event takes place November 29- December 2.
The Tower Antiques Show takes place at Fair Park in Dallas December 3-5. It’s one of the region’s better antiques shows and a favorite in the Southwest.
