Found some images on Google.
Lots of black and white images of big faces on buildings and people.
Are they just blown up pasted photographs on the buildings or hand sprayed?
Anyway why would anyone pay to visit him in his studio?

yep should be, ive been to quite a few studios and never been charged, it was a privilege for me and in my experience the artists enjoyed showing me their work space,ideas and works in progress, something i always enjoy as youre speaking to the artist on their home turf/comfort zone so to speak.

"What Is FOHTA?
From One Hand To AnOTHER (FOHTA) is a 501 C3 Not for Profit Foundation established by Pharrell Williams for the sole purpose of supporting the Pharrell Williams Resource Centers' (PWRC) learning programs developed for every one of the underserved youth between the ages of 7 and 20 in at risk communities throughout the country.
FOHTAโs mission is to โChange the world one kid at a time by providing them the tools and resources to meet their unique potential.โ The vision of the center is to modernize the community center concept by empowering kids to learn through new technologies, arts, and media.
Our vision can be implemented wherever children safely assemble. Programs and services are already engaging Virginia Beach children within a network of virtual centers in the cityโs schools, churches and parks & recreation facilities.
The Pharrell Williams Resource Center (PWRC) in VA Beach, VA is the first in a series of Pharrell Williams Learning Facilities that will provide educational S.T.E.A.M.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, and Motivation) related tools needed for the future success of children. We deliver, in technologically enhanced community centers, Project Based Learning activities, tutoring, and life coaching and motivation lessons to complete the education our children need to compete globally and keep our economy strong. Beginning in Virginia Beach and ultimately reaching thousands of children across this nation; FOHTA is dedicated, with the help of our corporate and educational partners, to the development of a prepared workforce and the future leaders of America. The Pharrell Williams Resource Centers will demonstrate We Can Create Our Own Future!"

JR studio visit $$$$$, by Dr Plip on May 21, 2014 21:09:45 GMT 1, I'm sure someone will be happy to pay that amount. Hopefully a fan of his work. It looks expensive to the average person though. Maybe 20 visitors for $500 each(?) would have been better?
If someone from here goes, can you please take that lady's foot out of the oven.
As memorable as the experience would be, you'd hope that JR would throw in a memento of some sort.

I would love to go to his studio.

Apparently it includes "free shipping" though so thats a bonus Does that mean they'll ship you to the studio? I'm in the UK. I need to go and re-read that listing. |

JR studio visit $$$$$, by mac on May 22, 2014 7:00:01 GMT 1, Saw him last Saturday at the opening of his show in Shanghai. Got a couple of glasses of wine and once we'd had enough of the show we crossed the parking area to a place opposite the gallery that has golf simulators you can try for free. Played 3 holes and went for a beer. Great afternoon and all free (apart from the beer)
That said, I reckon $7000 might be pushing it but all for a good cause I suppose. If anyone does pay for it then I agree with Plip, get that girl's foot out the oven, accident waiting to happen that...
