The Houston Alumnae Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta will host the 2019 Theta Charity Antiques Show at the George R. Brown Convention Center, Nov. 21-24. This year’s weekend-long event will be the show’s grand finale – a celebration of the exhibitors, speakers, volunteers and patrons who have made the event possible since its inception in 1952. Over the years, nearly $8 million has been raised for local charities. The 2019 show, bringing together top exhibitors, designs, collectors and admirers of fine arts and décor, will be presented by co-chairs (pictured, from left) Courtney Hill Fertitta, Jennifer Donovan O’Donnell and Giggy Martin Thanheiser. The lineup of speakers includes design experts Steve and Brooke Giannetti, Alexa Hampton, Thomas Jayne, Charlotte Moss, Thomas O’Brien and Margot Shaw. Funds raised will support the show’s four permanent beneficiaries: Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens/The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Child Advocates; Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation; and Texas Children’s Cancer & Hematology Center. Additionally, seven local charities have been selected to receive philanthropic support from the 2019 event: Amazing Place; Bo’s Place; Camp for All; Holly Hall; Nick Finnegan Counseling Center; The Rise School; and The Rose. The event kicks off with a preview party on Nov. 21, 7 p.m., and opens to the public 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Nov. 22-23 and 12 p.m.-6 p.m., Nov. 24. See thetacharityantiquesshow.org.
