Chandeliers for the Atlantic City Convention Center

In 1985, Markus Earley became the first recipient of the recently re-named Richard Kelly Grant. He was 25 years old. The grant had come under he auspices of the IESNA, and the age limit was raised to 35, where it remains today. Markus’ entry included the design of custom multifunction chandeliers for the Atlantic City Convention Center, a project he did in Howard Brandston’s office.
