The Executive Board of the Oriental Rug Importers Association (ORIA) has reached agreement with Americasmart Atlanta to extend, for three years their co-sponsorship of the annual National Oriental Rug Show (NORS). This year's 18th annual event, NORS-2000, is scheduled for January 13-16. The four day show is by far the largest for oriental rugs in the country, drawing exhibitors and buyers from across the U.S. and around the globe to the over 500,000 square feet of temporary and permanent exhibit space on five floors of the Mart. According to Lucille Laufer, Executive Director of the Oriental Rug Importers Association, "We are very pleased to have renewed our commitment to Atlanta as the venue for NORS. The continued growth of the event in both size and stature is testament to the effectiveness of our partnership with AmericasMartoAtlanta. We look forward to working with them over the next three years to make NORS even bigger and better." For more information on NORS-2000, contact ORIA headquarters at 201-866-5054.
