Antiques, Fine Art & Design Weekend

Three Days of Inspiration

Presented by

  

The 39th Antiques, Fine Art & Design Weekend opens to the public on Friday, October 17 and continues through Sunday, October 19. Fun and inspiring, AFAD weekend features dealers from across the country exhibiting the best antiques, fine art, and design in the Southeast.

We'll kick AFAD weekend off on Thursday evening with our 39th Preview Party, Greenville's most elegant event. 

This year's Special Guest Speaker is renowned interior decorator, author, and stylemaker, Caroline Gidiere from Birmingham, Alabama. Caroline’s design aesthetic is a modern take on traditional interiors, using beautiful pieces and classic textiles to create interiors that are fresh and timeless.  Caroline has developed her eye for design over a lifetime, from attending school in Paris where she studied architecture, art, and literature, to extensive travels throughout the European continent. Her background as an attorney in the business world provides well over a decade of experience in project management that allows her to navigate the back end of the design business with facility. Her first book, Interiors for a Life in Good Taste, was published by Rizzoli in March 2025.

Veranda named Caroline as one of six “2021 Next Legends” in its inaugural, annual feature.  Caroline was a Finalist in ADAC’s Southeast Designer of the Year 2020. And, Caroline and her work have been featured in the pages and digital content of Veranda, Luxe, Southern Living, House Beautiful, Flower, and Elite magazines.

Tickets are $125 and include a copy of Caroline's most recent book Interiors for a Life in Good Taste (March 2025, Rizzoli) and complimentary parking on the day of the event. Find tickets here. Tickets are limited for this event, and we expect them to sell out quickly. Please don't delay!

We look forward to seeing you at the 39th Antiques, Fine Art & Design Weekend!
