New York

As work­ing artists we know beyond a doubt how impor­tant art is not only to our lives but the entire world. Imag­ine what a world look like with­out art, with­out the cre­ativly designed build­ings of Frank Gehry, the land­scapes of Fred­er­ick Law Olm­sted ( Designer of Cen­tral Park in NY and many, many of our open spaces), the sculp­tures of Calder or the humor of Opus. Try to imag­ine also a life with­out, paint­ings, prints or pho­tographs on your walls, a life eat­ing off of col­or­less and unin­spir­ing din­ner­ware, of sit­ting on chairs all designed using the same pat­tern, a life with­out music.
