ARTS Awards Finalists Announced

Winners will be named at January gala, with two special honors still to come.

Dallas Market Center and ART, the creative home furnishings network, are pleased to announce the finalists for the 37^th ARTS Awards, the premier awards program dedicated to the home industry.

A committee of industry experts has evaluated and ranked hundreds of nominations to determine the list of finalists. The finalists will next submit materials for judging in the fall, by a separate panel of industry experts, and award recipients will be announced at the gala event held Friday, January 8, 2027, at the Hilton Anatole during the run of Total Home & Gift Market (Jan. 6-12) and Lightovation (Jan. 5-9).

The award recipients for the special categories of Academy of Achievement and the HEARTS Award will be announced in the coming weeks. Reservations for the ARTS Awards will open in early October.

“This year’s finalists reflect the depth of talent our industry continues to produce,” said Sharon Davis, Executive Director of ART. Added Cindy Morris, President and CEO of Dallas Market Center, “These finalists show the creativity and passion that make our design community so special, and we’re proud to celebrate them in Dallas this January.”
