Where can I find someone to exhibit their modern garden sculpture for my front lawn?
Equality

I'm looking for a sculptor to exhibit their modern garden sculpture in my front lawn, with plaque and all. I'm in Long Island, NY. Any ideas would be appreciated.


generally, artists sell their work - it's their livelihood. AND making those large sculptures is VERY expensive so you could probably only hope to allow the sculpture to be placed on your property to be sold. Try the art school. school of visual arts, suny purchase, cooper union are a few near you.
OR
How about actually buying one.

Should Disney World have an ice sculpture garden for winter?
Eternity

Would an ice sculpture garden with Disney characters be a good attraction for winter? Already in Orlando a hotel called Gaylord Palms has an indoor exhibit of ice sculptures but I would like Disney World to offer an exhibit.The price for the Gaylord exhibit is $20 and the parking fee is $12 which is more than I want to spend.A Disney World ice exhibit could produce an economy of scale that would eliminate fees.Disney World sells rain ponchos so for this ice exhibit they could sell cold ponchos made of foil for insulation.No jokes about bringing Walt Disney out of frozen storage.


That would be awesome but they already have the bushes through the whole season

I want my useful garden art to make money how do i get started?
When the winds blow, venerate the sound

I have a ton of ideas for garden sculpture that works hard for plants. Anyone out there doing this full time??? How did you get started and how much money did you need to start? I have many of the tools necessary but no space to work in the winter. Once started how long did it take to turn a livable profit??? Where do you market and how do you sell???


You can test your concepts at local craft shows where you can interact with customers. These become more and more common as summer and fall approach. Ask around and look for local craft shows on the internet.
If the devices need to be shown with plants, make up a wheeled tote box (like the plastic egg crates on wheels) with soil, plants, and sculptures and take them around to local nursury and garden centers where you can talk with owner/manager and discuss placing them for sale.
Take good pictures (or get them made) of setups, perhaps using other peoples gardens, for mailing to people and for making a web site or page and use internet features.
See if you can get a garden club open house site (like a "10 gardens tour) to include some of your things in the gardens.
Contact the local paper and see if they will do a story on a local invention and do photos in your or someone elses garden.

  • LOOK: Nek Chand#39;s Rock Garden | GOOD

    Art takes many forms, but often, the media remain the same. Not so in Chandigarh, India, where an unlikely artist, 82-year-old Nek Chand, uses the earth itself to forge his masterpiece. His Rock Garden is a 25-acre maze of mosaic pathways, waterfalls, and hidden chambers that’s home to thousands of surreal human and animal figurines. The garden is constructed entirely of industrial waste, organic materials, and other recycled items, making it one of Asia’s largest recycling projects.

    In the late 1950s, Chand, a road inspector from what is now Pakistan, began collecting electrical sockets, broken bangles, burnt-out bulbs, blown tires, and other bits of waste that had accumulated around Chandigarh. By 1965, working nights and weekends to avoid police detection, Chand had constructed an illicit sculpture garden, reworking found rubbish into hundreds of male, female, and animal figurines—some with real hair collected from barber shops—in a jungle clearing behind his home.
