I got this e-mail from Moss Motors this afternoon and thought I would pass it on:

At the Moss Motors east coast facility in Petersburg, Virginia, we recently
completed construction of a new showroom. There is a wonderful, large space when
you walk in the doors, and we want to deck it out properly.

Already in
this lobby there are cars on display–some pretty amazing British classics–and
this has inspired us. We are going to surround these vehicles with an atmosphere
that will make their crankcases drool.

One idea we're considering is
having murals painted on two of the walls. Combined, the walls are about 75-feet
long and 8.5-feet high. We are wondering if we can find an artist from among our
customers (or their friends) who would make the most of this canvas.


This email is a request and an invitation. It's a bit of a stab in the
dark, but we hope you can help us find the right candidate–an artist willing and
capable of a project of this scale and with a particular skill for an automotive
theme. If someone comes to mind, please forward this message. We'd love to hear
from them, see examples of their work and invite them to submit a proposal.


The contact person for this project is Shawn Carlberg. Artists
may contact him via email: shawn at mossmotors.com.


Attached is a photo of the space. Along with the walls, the
doors, too, can be painted (though probably not the fire extinguisher). We are
ready to begin preparations immediately.

Thank you for your help with this. We're very excited
about the potential for this project. It's enjoyable for us when we get to meet
our customers face to face. You are always invited to our facilities even if
it's just to have a look around. Soon though we hope to have a truly special
place for you to enjoy.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at Moss
Motors

As there's a big artists community in the Richmond area,
I don't think that it would be hard to find someone.
Maybe they should go downtown,& put fliers in the different
galleries.
