[TheForge] Public art project

Tue May 6 16:55:01 2003

Through high end interior designers, art galleries or exhibitions.
I started meeting high end clients when I volunteered to make some pieces for a very successful interior designer who decorated a number of homes in the annual home builders show, Homearama. The Homearama exposure is HUGE!!
Not really from the foot traffic, about 30,000 people, but more from the home buyers who are in that market. Last year Homearama home ranged from the low end of $650,000 to $2.5 mil!!
