The Canandaigua Classic Antique Show and Sale has a storied past and a bright future. For 27 years, the show has presented quality antique dealers with a winter event, and has resulted in over $135,000 raised for nonprofit and cultural events. 

We are grateful for early show organizers, Laurel Wemett and Dick Murphy, whose expertise enabled the show tradition.

 

The Ontario County Arts Council was the first recipient of the Antique Show, followed by Granger Homestead and the Kiwanis Club of Canandaigua in 2013, our current partner. Kiwanis provides scholarships, kids’ events and Service Leadership programs in our schools. Grants are also awarded to nonprofit groups for programming that supports the Arts.
