Antiques the Ticket for PS Arts
The volcanic ash cloud played havoc with the plans of some exhibitors at this year’s LA Antiques Show, housed inside a glammed-up Barker Hangar at Santa Monica Airport. The bustling opening party netted $115,000 for PS Arts, which brings arts education into the public schools.
