The question employees at the Venue hear most is, “What is this painting worth?” according to a press release.
Playing on the 12-time Emmy award nominee “Antiques Roadshow,” employees at the Venue will answer that question free of charge.
Gabriel Colman, owner and curator at the Venue, along with his staff, will appraise and teach locals about how to judge the value of their paintings.
“Antiques Roadshow” is part adventure, part history lesson and part treasure hunt, according to the Public Broadcasting Service.
The network’s website said the show brings “specialists from the country’s leading auction houses — Bonhams, Christie’s, Doyle New York, Freeman’s, Skinner and Sotheby’s — and independent dealers from across the nation to offer free appraisals of antiques and collectibles.”
The roadshow visits cities nationwide, and locals bring in their family heirlooms or yard sale finds to get ?examined.
The show is currently in its 18th season. The PBS network lists the show as its highest-rated series. It ?reaches eight million viewers each week.
Launched in 1979, “Antiques Roadshow” originally aired on the British Broadcasting Corporation.
