ABOUT THiS GATHERING

In keeping with Maison Bodega’s exploration of the role of decorative arts within public + private space and celebrating the antiquarian alongside the contemporary, our shoppable assortment includes collectibles contextualized alongside 19th century antiques. 

No tickets are required but we will limit the number of people shopping at any one time. Enjoy refreshments at Bar Agnes on the first floor of Maison Bodega.
