Atlanta Market Dates Expanded
AmericasMart Atlanta announced that the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market® will maintain its eight day run for the January and July 2014 Markets.

Showrooms during the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market® will be open from Tuesday, January 7 to Tuesday, January 14, 2014. Temporaries will be open from Thursday, January 9 to Monday, January 13, 2014.
