Which code does this activity belong in?
Art dealers are classified in 453920 when they retail original and limited edition art works, typically through art galleries displaying works for sale. Art supply stores, by contrast, are classified in All Other Miscellaneous Store Retailers because they sell materials and supplies used to create art rather than finished art works themselves. The boundary separates retailers of completed artistic pieces from retailers of the consumable materials and equipment that artists use in their production.
