Nominations open for 35th ARTS Awards

Dallas Market Center and ART, the creative home furnishings network, have opened nominations for the 35th ARTS Awards. The ARTS Awards is an international awards program dedicated to home industry excellence and achievement.

“Nominating an exceptional company or designer in the ARTS Awards is open to everyone,” said Cindy Morris president and CEO of Dallas Market Center.

Sharon Davis, executive director of ART, added: “The community that is nominating these great companies and individuals is recognizing and honoring excellence within the home furnishings industry. We invite everyone to participate.”

The ARTS Awards process begins with the nomination of retailers, manufacturers, designers, and sales representatives. Nominations are received online through June 26.

Once nominations are received, an esteemed committee consisting of industry peers will thoroughly evaluate the entries and select the finalists. In the fall, a separate judging panel will convene to assess the entries submitted by the finalists. The winners will be announced during ARTS Award gala on Friday, January 10, 2025. It’s important to note that membership in ART or representation at Dallas Market Center is not a prerequisite for either submitting a nomination or being nominated.

The 35th ARTS Awards Nomination categories are:

  • Manufacturer
  • Retailer
  • Sales Representative
  • Product Designer
