NYC Mayor proclaims “Home Textiles Market Weeks” for 2009

(WHITE PLAINS, NY) … New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has issued an official Mayoral Proclamation, declaring the two 2009 weeks – January 23-29 and August 14-20 – as “Home Textiles Market Week,” in New York City. This pronouncement recognizes these markets’ importance to the home textiles industry as well as their economic benefit to New York City.

“We’re proud to be recognized by City Hall as an important industry event in New York City,” said Penny Sikalis, GLM vice president and home textiles industry veteran. “Home Textiles Market Week is recognized by the industry as a valuable resource for independent specialty retailers and better home textiles suppliers and it is wonderful to have similar recognition from the City.”

Bloomberg cited the following factors in bestowing the Home Textiles Market Week proclamation:

With a combined total of nearly 500 home textiles vendors, this week-long event offers the most comprehensive selection of home textiles products found at any U.S. market and an unparalleled breadth and depth of home bed, bath, linen and home accessories.

New York Home Textiles Market Week recognizes the evolution of the home textiles industry’s business-to-business distribution channels and makes New York City an essential destination for more than 43,000 retailers and 2,700 vendors seeking business-to-business opportunities.

GLM, a dmg world media business (GLM), 230 Fifth Avenue and 7 W New York have joined to collectively promote Home Textiles Market Week activities, which along with a combined market directory and free inter-venue shuttle service, enhance the promotional partnerships and efficiencies that best serve market needs. With a comprehensive slate of educational programming and after-hours events designed to maximize the market experience for all participants, this event promises to be a great boon to the industry, and to the economic vitality of the city.

New York Home Textiles Market Week is produced and promoted cooperatively at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, Passenger Ship Terminal Pier 94, 230 Fifth Avenue and 7 West 34th Street. Products represented include bed and bath fashions, table linens, kitchen textiles, towels, decorative accessories, area rugs, window treatments and decorative fabrics.

The winter 2009 dates for Home Textiles Market Week are Friday, January 23, through Thursday, January 29, opening at 7 W New York on Friday, January 23, at 230 Fifth Avenue on Saturday, January 24, and at the New York International Gift Fair on Sunday, January 25.

The summer 2009 dates for Home Textiles Market Week are Friday, August 14, through Thursday, August 20, opening at 7 W New York on Friday, August 14, and at NYIGF and 230 Fifth Avenue on August 15.
