Company C Honored Again at 25th Annual ARTS Gala

ART, the non-profit Accessories Resource Team, and the Dallas Market Center presented Company C with the ARTS Award for Area Rugs at its 25th annual gala held during the recent Total Home and Gift Market Show in Dallas, Texas. The ARTS Award is the only international program in which retailers, manufacturers and sales representatives are celebrated by their peers for excellence in 25 different categories across the home industry.

For the second year in a row, Company C has been recognized for its outstanding original product design, commitment to sustainability, and compelling sales and marketing support programs.

“We are truly thankful and honored to receive this award. Each season, we challenge ourselves to create the most beautiful and innovative designs and also stay true to our passion for color in everything we do. It is especially meaningful to all of us at Company C that we continue to inspire excellence as we celebrate our 20th anniversary this year”, said Chris Chapin, Co-Founder and Colorful Living Officer.

Walter Chapin, Co-Founder and President, added, “Pausing to reflect on the last 20 years, winning this award reinforces the choices we’ve made and the path we’ve been on. It is a terrific and significant accomplishment that our design concepts and programs are recognized as the best in the industry by our peers.”

About the Award

The annual ARTS Awards invites industry members to nominate their peers for excellence in 25 categories that span product development, commitment to sustainability, retail merchandising, sales representation, and marketing support across several areas in decorative home accessories. Peer voting takes place over several months each spring and summer, and then a panel of industry experts invite finalists to submit presentations that are vetted until ultimate winners are selected. Nominees do not have to exhibit at the Dallas Market Center nor be a member of ART to be considered.
