CREATING BEAUTIFUL INTERIORS & A BEAUTIFUL WORLD // The Albemarle Garden Club 2023 Design Forum with noted American interior designer and tastemaker Mark D. Sikes is just over a week away! Mark D. Sikes has worked on projects throughout the United States and abroad, including the White House and Blair House. He is known for all American sensibilities and a fresh take on classical aesthetics. Mark has a talent for creating beautiful and timeless interiors that embody the indoor/outdoor lifestyle. It is an honor to welcome him to Charlottesville!
The Forum will take place Next Wednesday & Thursday, October 11 and 12 at the historic Paramount Theater on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall. All proceeds will support the @albemarlegardenclub community projects in the city of Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
