Hi Geoffrey,

As an addition to your answer to Gary Sculptari on working with architects or councilsfor his fresco project on new buildings, he should refer to Dodge Reports. It is an architectural digest that lists upcoming projects. It has been my experience (as an art marketing consultant) that architects or their viewing committees are very receptive to ideas such as Gary's.

But, Gary should remember that the 1% - 3% for art programs in place in certain cities, often causes a rebellion by the taxpayers that results in fewer individual sales for artists in those cities. Perhaps, he could find corporations already involved in the arts willing to fund his project for the tax benefit they would receive,instead of laying it at the feet of the taxpayer.
