Travel

The FPDP annual trip remains among the auxiliary’s most popular and successful activities. Groups of Forum members have been welcome visitors to many of the outstanding private collections in the metro Detroit area and throughout the United States over the past twenty years. Most recently, FPDP members have been privileged to visit collections in San Francisco, Houston, and Santa Fe. Many of the collections visited are cited in the “Top 100” by ART IN AMERICA and the “Top 200” by ART & AUCTION magazines.
