Description
Now in its 31st year, SURTEX® is the global B2B marketplace for sourcing original art & design—where artists, art agents, licensing agencies and licensors connect with manufacturers, retailers and licensees to create the next best-selling products in every category imaginable. Home furnishings, wall coverings, fabric prints, decorative accessories, bed and bath, stationery, giftware, apparel and so much more…if it’s any product with a surface or textile design of any kind, there’s a good chance it originated at SURTEX.
SURTEX is the largest market for licensing original artwork, prints and patterns as part of your company’s product development needs within our Art & Brand licensing section. As demand grows, so does SURTEX, from our distinguished Atelier section attracting globally refined design studios for private label purchase needs, to our Attendee’s increased momentum seeking emerging artists within our Design District section. New beginnings, endless possibilities.
