It all starts with an idea

We strive to develop long term partnerships with our clients, not just manage projects.

That's why we ask the right questions at the beginning to learn about your company's mission, culture, values and vision.

We are committed to providing you with exceptional service and value no matter whether you are:

  • establishing a collection for the first time

  • planning to commission a site specific work for a special area

  • need help in managing and caring for works you already own, or

  • wish to explore the marketing and public relations opportunities art offers

Here’s how we do it

With 50 years experience helping clients create meaningful and engaging art collections, we’ve helped to simplify the process with a collaborative, team-based approach that is focused, fun and financially sound. 

  • Setting guidelines for your art program is the first and most crucial step. After determining your aesthetic, budget and branding goals, we work with your project team to develop outcome driven solutions for the art program that help tell your story, enhance your environment, and promote your brand.

  • Next step is to conduct an onsite review of your space to determine key locations, type, and size of art needed for each area. We evaluate any existing art and advise you on its reuse, repair or disposition.

    We prepare a recommended budget and location plan for your review. We work closely with you to fine-tune the plan and ensure a suitable budget is allocated that will provide the most value for your dollars.

  • Having done that, we create an art concept and strategy that incorporates all of your objectives and defines processes, milestones, and timeline for managing the project.

    Next, we begin researching and sourcing artwork that meets established guidelines.

  • We locate art that meets your specific criteria, negotiate the best possible price, present works for approval, and recommend ways to dispose of or reuse existing works to realize the most value for you.

    We source artwork from individual artists, auction houses, galleries, dealers and publishers according to the needs of each project, overseeing each step of the entire acquisition process.

  • We work closely with expert framers, fabricators and lighting specialists to create a dynamic presentation of the art that will enhance each work, complement your design and protect your investment. Custom framing, pedestals, displays and signage are specified to meet the needs of each client.

  • With a network of local, regional, national and international art shippers, we are able to arrange for and oversee the proper packaging and safe delivery of your artwork.

    We coordinate all necessary art in transport insurance and scheduling according to the project timeline.

  • Our professional installers are able to tackle any type of art installation — from framed works displayed on your walls to complex indoor and outdoor installations of site-specific works.

  • Once the artwork is successfully installed, our job is not done. To ensure your investment is always protected, we provide a range of support services to help manage and care for your collection, including:

    inventory control system
    assess potential risks
    updating insurance appraisals
    art conservation/repair
    guidelines for maintenance
    art rotation plan
