Window Fashion VISION Announces the Winners of the 2024 Grace Awards


Recognizing the best design and construction of custom window fashions, the 33rd annual Grace Design & Artisan Awards (formerly known as the VISION Design & Workroom Competition), along with presenting sponsor Rollease Acmeda, presented the awards at a gala ceremony at the 2024 International Window Coverings Expo (IWCE) in Grapevine, Texas.




A fresh, new format mirrored the Academy Awards, where the top three nominees were acknowledged and the one winner of the category was announced. Elegance and entertainment were contributed by co-hosts David Santiago and Sara Lynn Brennan. David Santiago is the owner and interior designer of Casa Santi Interior Design in New Jersey. Sara Lynn Brennan is the owner of Sara Lynn Brennan Interiors in Waxhaw, North Carolina.
