Featured Speaker

Bobby McAlpine: The House Within Us
Friday, October 16, 10:15 am

Architect and designer Bobby McAlpine speaks poignantly from his head and heart about our personal search for home—what he calls the quest to match our physical surroundings withour inner beauty. Armed with the perspective of a Southerner and an arsenal of architectural experience, he reveals his
thoughts on grace, the human condition, tenderness of place, and what we know to be true in our lives, all based on the body of work he has created over the last 25 years.

Tickets to this talk are $25 each and include admission to the Antiques Show
and a 9:30 am coffee in the speaker’s honor.
