The AAADA sees itself not only as the peak body representing Australia's top dealers, but also one with a responsibility to help ordinary collectors gain knowledge in their chosen field.

For some years, Sydney AAADA members have been sharing their expertise with the public in their Spring Seminar series. The seminars are held every Thursday evening on a specialist topic at a dealer's premises. This way collectors can uniquely learn by handling often rare pieces at close quarters; they get to know the dealer, ask questions and are encouraged to bring in pieces for discussion in a friendly and comfortable setting.

MURRURUNDI FAIR DAY

17th October 2009

In these turbulent times looking to the past becomes very attractive. Antiques, the eco-friendly design of bygone days, with their proven store of value, are emerging as the design darling of the post credit crunch era as antiques shops and fairs experience a resurgence of interest in the decorative arts.

The Murrurundi Fair Day, hosted by Country Style magazine and the prestigious Australian Antique & Art Dealers Association, will see a number of Australia’s leading antique dealers displaying their wares. For design enthusiasts and the style conscious Murrurundi Fair Day is not to be missed. The opportunity to browse through a range of antiques and jewellery exhibits will be complemented by a series of three lectures introducing collectors to some of the important themes in today's decorative arts and jewellery markets.
