- Awards

In a
ceremony held August 5, 2007 during the
Philadelphia Buyers Market of American
Craft, Mike Stutland was awarded a 2007
NICHE Top Retailer Award.
Artique
won the magazine's "Top 100 Retailer
Award" seven times since 1996. In 2006,
NICHE redesigned the program to be more
competitive and broader in scope. Now
only 25 galleries nationwide are
annually awarded the status of Top
Retailer.
More than 18,000
professional fine craft artists
throughout the U.S. and Canada nominated
nearly 600 galleries, retail stores,
arts nonprofits, museums and guilds for
this year's NICHE Top Retailer Awards.
Criteria for nomination were
based on NICHE magazine's
Retailer Guide to Best Practices,
which details the characteristics of
craft retailers who are committed to
fair business practices and to growing
and strengthening the American craft
community.
