FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Miami, FL…July 10, 2018…The Miami Home Design and Remodeling Show, South Florida’s largest and premier home improvement expo will take place, Labor Day Weekend, from Friday, August 31st to Monday, September 3rd (Labor Day) at Mana Wynwood Convention Center, 318 NW 23rd St, Miami, 33127.
One of television’s most recognized architects/designers, John Gidding of TLC’s “Trading Spaces” will be the Home Show’s featured speaker presenting, Living in Art: Decorating Through Self-Expression. Gidding will also paint an original work of art during the first day (before and between presentations) which will be raffled off to an audience member at his final presentation.
“I enjoy painting ad hoc and I think it’ll be a great way of getting people to think about where they’d put a contemporary piece in their home, as they’ll potentially win the piece that’s right there,” comments Gidding.
Gidding will share some takeaways for how to feel about your own “art collection”; identify ways of making walls have a purpose in each room; introduce different usages of art in interiors through furniture, installations, paintings, graffiti, etc.; and discuss the role of art in Trading Spaces and why it’s always put off as “homework.”
Giddings’ seminars take place at the Ygrene Home Improvement Stage at 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 2nd and Monday (Labor Day), September 3rd.

About John Gidding
Growing up in a family of artists in Istanbul, Turkey, John Gidding’s first design influences were a love of traditional decorative arts and ornamental techniques. He then completed the modern half of his education with a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University and a Master’s degree in Architecture from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. John has enjoyed combining the best part of both aesthetic approaches with projects all around the world, ranging from residential and institutional architecture to landscape and urban design. Some of his favorite projects include working on the Brooklyn Bridge Park and Union Square with award-winning landscape architecture firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates. He’s also worked on the campus plans for Carnegie Mellon University, Yale University, and Cornell University, and a pavilion for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. John was working as a runway model for Armani and Gucci while getting his graduate degree when a scout called him in for a show casting, starting off a parallel career in television as a design expert on ABC, NBC, CNN, HGTV, Logo, and most recently on TLC as one of the new designers on the relaunch of “Trading Spaces”. John is a social media influencer and is always looking for new freelance collaborations with creators and makers while he travels the country as a keynote speaker and emcee.
