FAIRFIELD, N.J. – Stella Show Management Co. has announced the sale of its three New York events—Antiques at the Armory and the March and November Pier Antiques Shows—to GLM.

GLM is a tradeshow and events production company based in White Plains, N.Y.

A statement on the Stella Show Management website reads: “ … after 45 years of a great association with antiques dealers and the antiques events industry, Irene Stella wishes to retire and pursue with more attention some of her life’s other interests. In order for her to do so, we have undertaken a reorganization of Stella Show Management Co.”

GLM is the producer of the Original Miami Beach Antique Show® plus other highly regarded events in the U.S

Stella Show Management Co. notes that dealer applications and all deposits, records and booth preferences for the November show have been transferred to GLM. Dealers will be receiving communications shortly from GLM.

Stella Show Management Co. will continue to focus on more specialized lifestyle events such as the Country Living Fairs and the Chicago Botanic Garden Antiques & Garden Fair. The company said other new and innovative events that are in the planning stages.

“Words can’t express the extreme admiration I have always had and still feel for the hard work, knowledge and camaraderie of antiques dealers and the love and appreciation I feel for all their faith in Stella Show events over the past 45 years and the great people, characters and amazing friendships this business brought to my life,” commented Irene Stella in the statement.
