Dolly Johnson Antique and Art Show
The Dolly Johnson Antique and Art Show, also called The Dolly Show,[1] founded in 1963 by Dolly Johnson in Fort Worth, Texas, was a large annual antiques show held for nearly 50 years at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth's Cultural District. Johnson got her start driving across the country in a car she called "Uncle Sam" and it claimed to be the oldest antique show in the South West.[2][3]
In 2009, the show was bought by Jan Orr-Harter and renamed The Fort Show of Antiques and Art.[4] In 2020 the show was acquired by Luxe Events and further rebranded as the Fort Worth Show of Antiques, Art & Jewelry.[5][6]
