ART, The Accessories Resource Team, is the association of decorative accessory manufacturers, retailers, sales representatives and other professionals who are dedicated to promoting the industry.

ART provides a forum from which those in our industry can work to accomplish mutually beneficial goals. Supporting and building the accessory business is our prime objective. Together, ART members raise awareness of decorative accessories within the business community. At the same time, the association works to enhance consumers' perception of and interest in decorative accessories.

United in a common goal, ART members create positive relationships that profit everyone involved. Since ART was founded in 1988, we have developed programs that have advanced our members' businesses. ART is still the only trade group representing the interests of the decorative accessories industry.
ART offers many features to benefit its members. The events, meetings, seminars, awards dinners and conferences that you will be invited to enable you to network with colleagues you might not otherwise meet. ART membership gives you a chance to open new doors that lead to exciting opportunities.

Sharing business experiences and strategies is invaluable. Brainstorming creative ideas, forming alliances and creating partnerships can catapult your business to unexpected levels. There's nothing that can elevate you like ART.

ABOUT ART CONFERENCE 2006

"I don't think I have missed a conference in over 10 years and I have not cut it out of my budget even in those "lean" years. Why? Because the value I gain from the sessions far outweighs the cost. This conference is a commitment to growth. Growth of OUR industry organization, growth of my team and my personal growth. I take what I learn straight back to my team every year."

 

Jane Kieke, Taylors on Ten

“Meeting so many new friends, making business contacts…laughing, sharing so much with all of the attendees…I will NEVER miss another ART conference and consider it to be one of the key factors to making my business a success.”
Lynni Megginson, L & M Designs
"The conference was great and the setting was spectacular!  The speakers you chose and how their presentations were made offered everyone an equal forum to be heard and view each niche’s viewpoint.  While having members from so many facets of the industry, this form of sharing is important."
Shawn Johnson, Arteriors
