Nominations can be submitted online through June 25.
Dallas Market Center and ART have announced that nominations for the 36th ARTS Awards, the awards program dedicated to excellence and achievement in the home industry, are now open.
Anyone from the industry can submit nominations online through June 25. After that, a committee of industry peers will evaluate each entry and select the finalists. The ARTS Awards offer five different categories for nominations: Manufacturer, Retailer, Sales Representative, Product Designer and Interior Designer.
In the fall, a separate judging panel will assess fresh entries from each finalist and ultimately determine the winners. Winners will be announced during the ARTS Awards gala on Jan. 9, 2026.
“These nominations spotlight the most innovative and influential industry leaders,” said Sharon Davis, executive director of ART. “We invite the community to take part in the nomination process to recognize excellence and celebrate those shaping the future of home furnishings.”
New for this year includes the updating of regions for the home accents, lighting, retail and sales rep segments. The West and Southwest regions have been combined, while the East region has been expanded.
The new regions were designed to “create larger regions in North America that better represent industry excellence,” according to a release.
ART is a home furnishings network representing manufacturers, retailers, representatives and other individuals and companies to help promote and enhance the position of the home furnishings industry. More information on the ARTS Awards can be found online.
