The Great Southwestern brings a glimpse of our past to the people of New Mexico as well as to thousands of visitors from around the country and from around the world. The Great Southwestern has always been a trend-setting event. It has historically attracted many of the top architectural and fashion design groups looking for inspiration to set up the direction in upcoming trends in home furnishings, clothing and personal styling. Albuquerque is a diverse city, rich in cultural heritage, and provides the perfect backdrop to showcase a show of this caliber, which is dedicated to promote an appreciation of the history housed in the objects of our ancestors. The Great Southwestern has made every effort to seek out dealers who share the promoters vision that History and Art should be accessible to all people, of all walks of life in every income bracket. This show offers an astonishing variety of authentic antiques and art in all price ranges and aims to satisfy all levels of desire, from Museum quality pieces to decorative arts for the home decorator and novice collector. Our dealers are teachers, teachers of art & culture; they are here in Albuquerque to share their knowledge. Their job is to care for those objects that represent our collective past and educate the future collectors and caretakers so that in our mass marketed, mass produced world we dont forget who we really are and from where we came
