The Charleston Art & Antiques Forum

is a non-profit (501-c-3) organization dedicated to presenting the best fine and decorative arts scholarship, while benefiting arts education and preservation initiatives.

Founded in 1997, The Charleston Art & Antiques Forum opens Antiques Week each year with noted national and international arts experts addressing topics relating to connoisseurship and the interpretation of American material culture. The Forum offers superb lectures in small-scale sessions, with lively question and answer sessions that often continue over lunch or dinner. Speakers and participants enjoy a special camaraderie as they study significant collections together, visit historic properties and experience the best in Southern hospitality at receptions in landmark venues.

The Forum Board and Board of Advisors volunteer their time, talent and expertise with an Executive Director overseeing operations.
