We have a robust record of executing impactful public and private art projects. Our team is adept at navigating the often complex steps it takes to develop a successful artistic project from start to finish. We provide a full-service experience including strategy, consulting, planning, and production for businesses, municipalities and counties, hospitality groups, developers, and tourism organizations.
Our founders have decades of experience working in the marketing and creative industries developing and managing multi-million dollar national campaigns for major brands. This gives us a unique edge with our expertise in strategy, partnerships, stakeholder interests, community involvement and engagement.
Concepts and ideas are important, but it’s how they’re implemented that makes the difference. We seamlessly handle the business of art and we’re invested in the success of each and every project.
Hello!
Approach
We are thoughtful, creative, and strategic in our approach. We’re passionate about developing artworks and experiences that resonate with audiences of varied backgrounds, engaging them in ways that are inspiring and insightful. There’s no question that arts & culture are vital to the social and economic health of a community. We’re continually trailblazing ways to use the power of art to build bridges and unify.
Engaging the local art community is vital to any arts & culture endeavor. Although we have a nationwide network of professional artists we work with, we often advocate to involve local talent including emerging artists to help enhance their careers and provide equality of opportunity whenever we’re able to do so. When specific artists or artwork styles are requested for projects in which a visiting artist is preferable, this can often still be an opportunity for a local artist to benefit by working together with the visiting artist. We mentor and provide a platform for newly discovered talent as well as collaborate with established talent, providing us with a vast creative network that can accomplish any project.
