2025 Virtual Assemblage Meeting
Saturday April 26, 12pm EDT
via Zoom
FANA will host the 2025 Assemblage virtually this year with a 6-hour (drop in/drop out) meeting via Zoom (see below for the full schedule). The program will include unbelievable door prizes, a members’ “show and tell” to showcase fascinating fans and their unique qualities, and a business meeting where you will learn more about how FANA operates. FANA will also run a members-only online auction in late May or early June, where you can bid on fans of all kinds.
Additionally, two educational sessions will take place. A renowned European collector will discuss her amazing fans and share insights into her process of collecting as an art historian. The second speaker will present her thesis research on the fans of Esther Oldham, a prominent collector, and comment on FANA’s founding.
To attend this meeting, you must be a member, but joining is easy and affordable. FANA welcomes new members and has recently lowered its dues, offering two years for the price of one. You can explore additional benefits and various membership levels on our Membership information page.
The Zoom link for the meeting will be sent to all FANA members a few days before April 26th, and the link to the online auction will be sent out in late May. For more details about FANA or the virtual meeting, contact FANA at info@fanassociation.org.
