The ARTS Awards, presented each January during the Dallas International Gift and Home Accessories Market by the Accessories Resource Team, is the premier awards program for the decorative accessories industry. The ARTS Awards recognizes excellence from retailers, manufacturers, sales representatives and designers in every region of the United States. Nominations come from peers within the industry and finalists submit a detailed portfolio consisting of information such as company history, philosophy, product development, marketing, merchandising and customer relations. The submissions are reviewed by a panel of distinguished judges and once judging is complete, a designated accounting firm tabulates the sealed ballots.

On January 21, 2006, Accessory Resource Team (ART) recognized Homescapes Carmel as Furniture Store of the Year, West Coast Region. We have been nominated for 2007 as well, so wish us luck for January 20, 2007!
