Cannes

In the ongoing process of building Ideal Spaces’ international network, on behalf of Ideal Spaces, Grant Raynham organized a dinner at the Cannes Film Festival and introduced Ideal Spaces to a selected group of international film entrepreneurs. The aim was to bring top international business people to understand the importance of art, architecture, and community relative to the ongoing cultural industry worldwide.

From this dinner and other meetings during the Cannes Film Festival, France, Ideal Spaces was able to establish initial interest in its work and to gain cohesion to an important target group.
