Art in the Home –
Buying, Collecting, Arranging
Wednesday, September 27
The evening featured a lively panel discussion with three top local interior designers moderated by RAC’s next door neighbor Jennifer Matthews, Realtor, William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty (pictured here with the speakers left to right Christina Roughan, Fiona Leonard, Jennifer Mathews and Chauncey Boothby). Topics included buying art in different mediums plus lighting, presentation and even family photos. The designers also shared how they source artists for clients and how important it is that artists have a website with their portfolio available online for browsing. Thanks to all!
