JMK SHOWS TO MANAGE ALEXANDRIA’S FINEST ANTIQUES SHOW NOV. 11, 12 & 13 AT GEORGE WASHINGTON MASONIC NATIONAL MEMORIAL
Press Release - Click here to download Word Document Version Click here to view show page Contact: The well established Alexandria Antiques Show, formerly produced by the late Bob Armacost, will be returning for the second consecutive year to the grand setting of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial on Nov. 11, 12 and 13, now under the dynamic new management of Allison Kohler, managing director of JMK SHOWS. The show will have an impressive array of distinguished, nationally prominent antiques dealers, many of whom have successfully exhibited in the show before. “It is my intention to fill all the available exhibit space with outstanding examples of antique furnishings and decorative accessories, fine paintings, prints and sculptures, rare porcelain, pottery and glass, oriental rugs, silver, exquisite antique and estate jewelry, and so much more from the exceptional to the extraordinary.” said an enthusiastic Allison Kohler as she related how impressed she was by the magnificence of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, and how “perfect” a setting it was for a show of this caliber. “The show will be a tribute to the rich heritage and traditions of Alexandria while at the same time it will be on the cutting edge of appreciating, living and decorating with antiques” she concluded. Perched 330 feet high, atop Shuter’s Hill, at the upper end of King Street, the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, at 101 Callahan Drive, Alexandria, VA, is much more than a colossal memorial and museum just a few minutes from the nation’s capital, it is a major tourist attraction and destination honoring and perpetuating the memory of our nation’s first president. It provides ample on-site parking and can easily be reached by car via major roadways serving the DC area, as well as by public transportation to the King St. stop on the blue and yellow lines of the Washington Metro. This newly announced addition of the Alexandria Antiques Show to the existing roster of other successful, exceptional quality JMK Antiques Shows marks the 4th major expansion in the last year for this 45 year old, second generation show management company. JMK Shows appears to have found the right formula to successfully expand their show operations while keeping their exhibitors happy and satisfying their collecting audiences. A feat to marvel at during these on-going difficult economic times, as witnessed by their recently successful revival of the Northern Virginia Antiques Show sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Arlington, Virginia, and their outstanding White Plains Antiques Show at the Westchester County Center in New York State. Could the answer to the run of successful antiques shows lie in Allison Kohler’s honest-to-goodness concern for her exhibitors’ welfare, or could it be in her contagious passion for the antiques shows? Whatever it is, she’s not talking.

__________________________________________________________________ JMK Announces Metropolitan Pavilion Sponsor Special Loan Exhibit from the National Christmas Center Press Release - Click here to download Word Document Version Click here to view show page Contact: A Nineteenth Century New York Christmas JMK’s Antiques & Fine Art Show at the Metropolitan Pavilion New York City debuts on December 9, 10, & 11. The new show features 70 quality exhibitors with a diverse range of antiques and decorative arts as well as a special Christmas loan exhibit, “A Nineteenth Century New York Christmas,” by one of its sponsors, the National Christmas Center in Paradise, Pennsylvania. New York City is never more exciting than at Christmas time, and the magic of Christmas in New York is exactly what the National Christmas Center wants to recreate for visitors to the show. “I remember going to bed with an empty stocking hoping to see Santa,” the Center’s Curator and Historian Jim Morrison spoke with enthusiasm. “In the morning the tree was up, my stocking was lying beside me all filled up with goodies, and it was just an incredible time. I never got over it.” He describes his loan exhibit for the Metropolitan Pavilion as all about memories and fantasy and the wonder of Christmas past, and he invites the public to come and relive their memories as they see the exhibits. “The two-dimensional storybook becomes the three-dimensional through a park vignette featuring several figures including a snowman and a teddy bear band sitting in a red sleigh. These mechanical department store figures recreate the magic of Christmas for kids of all ages. “It’s all about memories,” Morrison tells. “And when people visit this collection of memorabilia celebrating Christmases of New York past, they will rediscover their own memories.” The exhibit will include a gallery of depictions of Christmas in nineteenth century New York City. Engravings from Harper’s and other sources illustrate sleighing in Central Park, shopping on Fifth Avenue, and other metropolitan holiday views. In a central exhibit is a Christmas garden featuring a large Victorian Christmas tree on a platform with a Lionel train and folk art village beneath. Morrison likens this part of the exhibit to the memorable displays he helped create at the Gotham Book Mart on West 47th Street years ago. Holiday tunes will be played by Sweet Harmony www.sweetharmony.com in the loan area throughout the weekend. “We are proud to bring to the public the first ever loan exhibit from the National Christmas Center to an antiques show,” announced Alison Kohler, Director of JMK Shows. “And we welcome new and old clients alike to this wonderful facility at this magical time of year.” The Metropolitan Pavilion is conveniently located at 125 West 18th Street, New York, NY.

To re-enforce that trust, Antiques at Teaneck Armory will provide a certified appraisal clinic for the public’s use at five dollars per item, as well as museum quality restoration services.

Management stresses that contracts will be available by invitation only, but dealer inquiries will be welcomed. “We have many requests to do the show, and will consider every inquiry,” said Kohler. “Our major concern in dealer selection is to create balance and diversity of merchandise for our buying public.” JMK Shows was established in 1972 by Rona and Jesse Kohler to bring better quality, affordable antiques to the collecting public. The shows are heavily advertised in the important trade publications and general media. The ad campaigns are well-funded, researched, planned, and created by an award-winning creative advertising agency. “We take pride in what we do, and how we do it,” added Kohler. White Plains is the latest venture from JMK Shows who recently revived the Atlantic City Antiques & Collectors Show. The firm is dedicated to bringing quality events to the general public. An extensive advertising campaign stands behind the show and show cards are already in the hands of exhibitors. JMK Antiques Shows are well-established venues with a great track record in the industry. JMK maintains an extensive mailing list as well as an email list and prides itself in being responsive to attendee and dealer needs. “We know that our business depends on good relationships,” reminded Kohler. “We want our customers and exhibitors to know that fulfilling their needs is of paramount importance to us.” For further information, contact Allison Kohler at JMK Shows & Events, 6 Pilgrim Drive, Succasunna, NJ 07876, (973) 927-2794, jmkshows@aol.com, www.jmkshows.com.

October 7, 2009 - Atlantic City Antiques & Collectors Show on March 27, 2010 Click here for Word Document Version PRESS RELEASE — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEOctober 7, 2009 Contact: Jayne Skeff, Publicist ALLISON KOHLER, JMK SHOWS, CHOSEN TO PRODUCE THE NEW ATLANTIC CITY ANTIQUES AND COLLECTORS SHOW Atlantic City, NJ — It was a dark day in September that sent shockwaves coast to coast throughout the antiques industry when F&W announced the cancellation of the long-running Atlantique City Antiques Show. While the show had been in a downward spiral for the past several years, ultimately becoming not much more than a table-top collectibles show, many remembered it as the “grand-daddy” of this country’s antiques shows. Anybody who was anybody in the business had at one time or another, “set up” at Atlantique City, and, in its prime, had all exhibition halls filled with thousands of fine dealers and even more buyers. While the show became much less than that in the past few years, Atlantic City still remains in our minds as the destination for the finest and largest of antique events. Behind the scenes, since F & W’s announcement, the Atlantic City Convention Center had been interviewing and evaluating a number of promoters who could bring a show representative of the caliber it once was, back to that venue. On Friday, October 2, 2009, Allison Kohler (PHOTO), owner, JMK Events, received the call that she had been chosen to bring a new antique show to Atlantic City. Within hours, the new Atlantic City Antiques and Collectors Show was born and, in true Allison Kohler style, by the end of the day, the JMKShows website already had a new entry in their event listings: “March 27 & 28, 2010, The Atlantic City Antiques and Collectors Show!” JMK Shows, under the leadership of Kohler, has earned the reputation of producing events of exceptional quality with a keen eye to ensuring and maintaining the integrity of the event, the dealers and the merchandise. JMK’s Sarasota Shows, their Doll Shows and their flagship Morristown Shows speak for themselves in the level of quality events they produce and we can expect nothing less for the new Atlantic City show. At this writing and on the phone with Allison, multi-tasking as always, she was finalizing contracts, booking flights to various cities to begin the task of visiting all the major antique shows across the country, her attitude was pure excitement. The infectious sort of excitement that is part of her “get it done” determination. She is thrilled at the opportunity to bring Atlantic City back even better and stronger than it was before. Re-branded, re-invented and highly vetted, on March 27, 2010, the doors will swing wide to 250,000 square feet filled with the finest antiques and collectibles in the country. Kohler will create an antiques shopping experience not to be missed. The two-day event will combine all the genres of antiques and collectibles in one spectacular location yet they will be separated within the venue. Antique furniture and furnishings in one area, toys and ephemera in another, vintage clothing will have its own designated section, as will fine art and dolls, etc. For one admission, attendees will be able to visit and shop from several specialty shows under one roof. For dealers, this means attractive booth pricing structures depending on their specialty. For the antiques industry in this county, this means the injection of energy and integrity that is long overdue. “I am honored and welcome the opportunity to create, re-invent and re-brand an event of this caliber in Atlantic City,” said Kohler. Within days of the announcement, she was already working with decorators to create the look of the show, floor plans are being set and contracts are ready to roll. Dealers interested in obtaining information about exhibiting at the new and exciting Atlantic City Antiques and Collectors Show should visit the JMK website at www.JMKSHows.com, email Allison Kohler directly at JMKShows@aol.com or call the offices of JMK at (973) 927-2794.
