Collector Gallery Committee, of the Local Organizing Committees for the American Numismatic Association 2011 Anniversary Convention

Stephens Convention Center (Rosemont, suburban Chicago) August 16-20, 2011

Welcome to the main page for the Collector Gallery Committee of the 2011 ANA Anniversary Convention. Please bookmark this page, and return often to see our progress.

The Collector Gallery Committee, formerly the Exhibits Committee, works alongside the ANA national exhibits volunteer team. Before the convention, the committee encourages and recruits local exhibitors, to be followed during the convention with assisting with exhibit setup and removal. All applications are sent directly to ANA, and ANA headquarters produces the exhibit guide pamphlets that includes a title and description for each exhibit. ANA headquarters also arranges the exhibits from the ANA museum, Smithsonian Institution, American Numismatic Society, and certain dealer exhibits.

It is not too early to start planning your exhibit for 2011!

from Paul, May 4, 2010:

The ANA web site has a page on exhibiting at ANA conventions — visit it at http://www.money.org/Content/NavigationMenu/NumismaticEvents/ConventionExhibits/default.htm or you can follow these direct links to the details.

• (Part 1) and (Part 2)
  of a very good two-part article by John Eshbach about putting together a competitive exhibit.
• (Exhibit Case Dimensions)
  The standard cases are provided by ANA — you provide the fillings!
• (General Exhibiting Rules)
  The rules might change a little from year to year: little changes from year to year as things change (the exhibiting classes, the name of the award, etc), and site-specific limits as to number of cases in each exhibit and the total number of exhibits that one person can enter (space is very tight for Boston, but there will be much space in Chicago). The site-specific rules will be available later.
