The HADA Advantage

The Tangible Benefits of Participating in HADA’s Fall Show & Sale

 As the oldest show in the nation, HADA (Houston’s Antique Dealer Association) has been attracting internationally renowned collectors and designers, as well as thousands of visitors, for 46 years. And because we are dealers ourselves, we understand the importance of offering value-added incentives to our exhibitors, particularly during these more difficult economic times. Unlike commercial show producers, we make every effort to optimize our operations and reduce costs—and these efforts have been generously rewarded. Our shows, held at the prominent George R. Convention Center in Houston, the 4th largest city of the United states, have experienced a resounding success despite the economic downturn.

 At HADA, we are extremely appreciative of all our past and present exhibitors who have made our shows such a success. We are a small volunteer organization of 18 members, and all our proceeds benefit various charities and organizations, including the Houston Museum of Fine Art, The Heritage Society of Houston, Houston Junior Forum, Brookwood Community and Cenikor. Without you, our exhibitors, we could have experienced such great results from our efforts.
