Dallas Market Center and the Accessories Resource Team (ART) have signed off on a 10-year partnership.
This strategic alliance includes long-range plans designed to further enhance ART and promote the decorative accessories industry. Dallas Market Center and ART have been partners since 1989, working together to support manufacturers, retailers, sales representatives, designers, and other industry partners via conferences, seminars, business assistance programs, and special events such as the ARTS Awards.
With a strategic goal of expanding ART’s membership, Dallas Market Center committed to sponsoring 20 home decor retailers for first-time ART membership each year for the next 10 years. In addition to the sponsorships, the annual ARTS Awards will continue to be produced and hosted by Dallas Market Center during the January Total Home & Gift Market.
In support of the ART Conference, a long summer weekend filled with educational sessions and social activities, Dallas Market Center will continue to help with the organization and promotion of events. Additionally, Dallas Market Center is providing an expanded office and meeting space for the group. ART will use the space to coordinate its membership activities which includes participation in the semi-annual Dallas Sample Sale/Goods to Go produced by Dallas Market Center. Proceeds from this event contribute to the annual operating funds for ART.
