Do you know of anyone that wants to own part of a Daniel Hopper chandelier? or just wants to support art?

I have recently been handed an opportunity to present my art and craft to a larger audience.

I was offered space in a top San Francisco showroom, Coup d’Etat, to hang an electrified version of the chandelier you see above. It was a large undertaking to create the first one and this next one is no less so.

This is going to be a Community Chandelier.

It is my goal to have this piece funded by my community; for once it has finished it’s time at the showroom, I am donating it to a community space, to be enjoyed by you and many others.

Do you want to own a piece of this community chandelier?

Do you know of a community space where you would love to see this chandelier hanging?
