Artist Advisory
For living artists and artists' estates, with services complementary to existing galleries and professional patronage, with a special emphasis on matching artists with initiatives, project planning and implementation.
Our collective art world experience and trusted relationships with artists, collectors, galleries, museums, scholars and philanthropic organizations give profound insight into the business of being an artist. Our engagement approach is individualized to the endeavors and characters of artists. We offer guidance on an array of services to navigate the complexities of career management, as well as position, implement and manage commercial and institutional opportunities. We specialize in identifying and supporting present and future generations of artists capable of working on cutting-edge projects and programming - commissioning work from artists internationally across generations, sites, purposes, and types of work created.
Programming + Cultural
For public and private entities engaged in envisioning and realizing ambitious programs, projects and partnerships with art at the forefront.
Our programming advisory and cultural initiatives practice focuses on envisioning and executing bespoke development efforts in order to integrate art thoughtfully and meaningfully into larger creative visions. Our work in this space is highly customizable, approaching each project or programming element with close attention to its specific objectives, potential, conditions, messaging and opportunities. The collective experience of our team in managing projects for an array of public and private entities has afforded us the opportunity to hone the tools needed for creative direction and oversight in multi-component initiatives that span stakeholders.
Collection Advisory
For individuals and entities seeking innovative approaches to refining their collection, from building to managing burgeoning and established collections.
High level thought and attention to details attuned to the needs and passions of our clients is the ethos of our collection advisory practice. Very much how the best art collections are established, our thoroughly personalized approach is informed by vast and varied industry expertise, research, and scholarship. We are confident in our ability to align the priorities of our clients with privileged access and insight to identify value and opportunity as their thought partners.
Philanthropic Platforms
For individuals and entities seeking innovative approaches to refining their collection, from building to managing burgeoning and established collections.
Our philanthropic advisory is enthusiastic to the notion that giving should be experienced. Designed to maximize impact while adhering to vision and values by which they were conceived, this approach provides a basis for targeted, interactive and sustainable models of giving. The act of consistent giving is a form of patronage that we value and seek to explore and incorporate within our proposals and programs. More consistent giving and not moments of patronage helps to build cultural communities and maintain the institutions that support them. We collaborate with individual patrons, as well as public and private entities, to tailor a philanthropic philosophy to inform our creative strategies across limited-time projects or ongoing initiatives. The scope of this practice includes advising on thematic interests, artist-focused and collection-based programs that can be location-specific or more widely applicable across multiple venues or destinations.
