Marie,
I agree that some type of list should be available to give sort of an
"inside scoop" on what's up & coming. As an acrylic fabricator, it would
benefit me greatly, because I could contact the museums and get my companies
name on the bids for any acrylic/plexiglas fabrication. As it stands now, I
search through Grant listings and see what museums are planning to do with
the money they were awarded.  Many times the listings are 1 to 2 years in
advance of new exhibits & construction and I just have to follow up every so
often so they don't forget who I am.
Of course, our motives for wanting the listing might not be the same, but it
would be a great tool to have.

Regards,
--
