Art Expo Las Vegas will debut at the January show in Pavilion 2. From mixed-media work to glasswork and sculpture, nearly 100 contemporary artists, galleries and art publishers worldwide will showcase diverse fine art. Buyers will have access to the art from January 28 – 31.

Salon West will introduce a juried collection of 12 “style-setters”. Categories include home décor, lighting, home textiles, accents, art and accessories. Among the trend-setting products, Salon West will feature environmentally-conscious American-made furniture, lighting crafted from driftwood and other natural materials, and hand-painted custom framing.

The Pavilions — Pavilion 1 and Pavilion 2 — will house over 30 outdoor exhibitors and more than 75 home furnishings companies. The newly designed locations are set to welcome Aid to Artisans, a mentoring program for new international artisan businesses. Courses will take place in Pavilion 1.

Attendees who register for the Market Red Carpet Tour will experience an expert-guided three night and four day tour. In addition to VIP access to major manufacturers, the tour offers daily transportation to and from each building, insider access to showrooms, social and networking opportunities, private receptions and more. Review the tour’s homepage for more details.

First Time to Market

To begin planning, first-time attendees can watch LVM’s welcome video. Furniture dealers can also review LVM’s five top tips to ensure a productive experience and maximize ROI:

  • Engage with other buyers to share industry knowledge, network and discover what attendees are purchasing.
  • Explore the entire venue.
  • Compile detailed notes on products of interest and locations to make purchasing decisions with ease.
  • Attend relevant educational sessions.
  • Always inquire about specials and discounts.

Professionals are advised to map out exhibitors before the market. Registered attendees can search the exhibitor directory by category, company and price with LVM’s Market Planner. The planner also allows users to share customized lists. During the market, attendees can download and refer to the Las Vegas Market App which fully integrates with the Market Planner and provides real-time market updates.
