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.

ABOUT ART CONFERENCE 2010
"I am very excited about the Retailer Round Table that we holding at the Art Conference. I have talked to so many retailers over the years that desperately want to have an open venue to share ideas with their peers without worrying about give away trade secrets. I look forward to this exercise becoming a staple at many other events sponsored by Art."

"Participation in the ART Conference has enriched our business through the many retailer, manufacturer, and rep contacts we have made. It is inspiring to be part of an event that brings together so many talented individuals from our industry who work together to share, discuss, and solve common issues."

"Let your guard down - walk out enhanced. The Art Conference in Naples was a terrific forum where we learned about negotiating, body language, trend forecasts, and focusing on core strengths in a waning economy. Can't wait for Palm Springs in May."
