In the showcase, the designers have created five fascinating room settings that show how art and antiques can be integrated into today’s major decorating trends. These rooms show how the best of our past can be used to enhance and elevate the environments of the present.
The designer showcase will be featured at the HOPE Private Preview, benefiting HDRF, at 6 p.m. on opening night, Friday, Feb. 14. It will be on display through the entire run of the show ending Tuesday, Feb. 18.
Scott Snyder, renowned interior designer and HDRF Palm Beach chair, has coordinated the showcase, which will feature his central room setting as well as the work of acclaimed designers Bruce Bierman, Campion Platt, Jennifer Post, Jim Aman and John Meeks.
All of the showcase designers are members of HDRF’s Arts Committee, a group of 40 leading talents from the visual and performing arts, who lend their time and talent to help bring awareness to depression as a major worldwide health issue. HDRF formed its Arts Committee in 2006 – the same year as the organization’s founding – to recognize that the incidence of depression is up to four times higher in the creative community than in the general population.
The five designers have selected items from more than 180 dealers at the show and have incorporated them into rooms that reflect their unique, individual aesthetic – from traditional to minimalist contemporary.
“The goal of the showcase is to inspire the audience with new ideas about how to use art and antiques to enhance their environment and their lives,” said Snyder.
The annual Palm Beach Jewelry, Art and Antique Show will once be presented at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, Feb. 14-18. This five-day art event will feature more than 180 international galleries and offer a curated blend of fine art, jewels and antiquities. It is produced by the Palm Beach Show Group.
