ABOUT THE SHOW
Where Best-Selling Products Begin
SURTEX® is the premier surface design and art licensing marketplace for more than 35 years. Known as a veritable who’s-who of industry trend-setters seeking first access to today’s best original art, this is where talented artists and agency representatives meet wholesale buyers from the biggest retail brands, and discover out-of-the-box opportunities around the world.
There’s no other event like SURTEX in North America. And no better location than New York, a city with endless inspiration.
From wall coverings and home decor to linens, stationery, apparel and more—if it’s any product with a surface or textile design, there’s a good chance it originated at SURTEX.
