Jon Hair, an official sculptor of both the US Olympic Team and the US Olympic Committee, has been invited by the PRC government to create a 12-foot sculpture entitled "LUCKY 8" for the Beijing International Sculpture Park. In Chinese culture, the number "8" is considered lucky.
The sculpture is treated with an optical paint that continuously changes color and could become one of the most popular sculptures in Beijing. Corporate and private sponsors for the $150,000 project have the opportunity to create good will and have a permanent presence in Beijing. Contact InformationJon D.
