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. Julia Sorkin, Christine Weller and Patrick Herning chaired, with the evening’s hosts including Maria Bell, Courtney Cox, Dita Von Teese, Cameron Silver, Jennifer Meyer and Kelly Wearstler. Tom Cruise and Marcia Cross were among those browsing the sumptuous antique furniture, jewelry and artwork. Sponsor Patron tequila came to the bar with a unique parting of the gift, a stainless steel mojito muddler, engraved with whatever you wanted.
