By Home Furnishings Business in Las Vegas on July 2006 Canaco Tlaquepaque, an exhibition of a dozen Mexican manufacturers of original pieces of decorative art, gifts and handcrafts at this month’s Las Vegas market, marks the first U.S. group exhibit of accessory makers from Tlaquepaque.

Tlaquepaque, located next to Guadalajara in Jalisco state, is a major center of better decorative goods. The city hosts a trade show of handcrafted merchandise, and also shows in conjunction with the furniture trade show Expo Mueble, Mexico’s largest, in Guadalajara.

Canaco Tlaquepaque will show at Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall, stands 72056-72356, and is sponsored by the Tlaquepaque Chamber of Commerce.

“Our primary goal is to show the visitors of our stand that Mexican handcrafts and decorative art are a very attractive and real option when decorating and creating unique environments that go well in any setting around the world,” said Viridiana Vazquez, special projects director for Canaco Tlaquepaque. “We believe that this event is the perfect occasion to promote Mexico’s artists and craftsmen as well as an opportunity to initiate long term commercial relationships.”

Some of the products and materials displayed at the stand include: wrought iron, blown glass, ceramics and clay pottery, tin works, seeds, leather, oil paintings, decorative vases and figurines, candles, leather handbags and lighting products.

Manufacturers include: Likido, Acasa, Patva, Diseño y Arte Mauricio, Preciado, Blown Cristal, El Dorado, Galeria Gustavo Martínez, Amada Inc., Fuego Nuevo, Candere Disegno, Colección José Torres and Fuenzalida Artesanía Mexicana Ollín.

“Our presence at the Las Vegas Market will be the first of many steps taken to promote Mexico’s art in many parts of the world,” Vasquez said. We are certain that all of those who visit our stand will be fascinated by the works displayed there and we, as well, will be enchanted by their visit.”
