Trade Buyers
We welcome anyone and everyone interested in art and design, but our goal is to make this event as valuable to our exhibitors as possible.
We have built long-standing relationships with Press & Trade Buyers (media outlets, interior designers, stagers, collectors, gallerists, buyers, architects and developers). These folks are added to our guest list and invited to enjoy a VIP experience and enjoy a first look at the exhibition. Trade Buyers and Exhibitors will receive name tags to easily discern them from the general public, and ensure they are able to connect and network easily.
