Space Planning

With deep experience in exhibition planning, curation and art installation, we have the ability to support art placement for any room.

  • Virtual Renderings can be provided for any space, to demonstrate the scaled size of a piece of art, and how it will interact with the existing colors and space.

  • FloorPlan Mapping: Using a 2-dimensional scaled map of a space, we can identify the best art placement and size restrictions.

Framing and Installation

We work with trusted art framing and installation experts to ensure museum-quality display of artwork in any space.

  • Custom Framing: In the event that a new frame is needed for an artwork, we will work with you to identify the best framing method for a piece. Through our partners, we can support everything from simple wood or acrylic frames, as well as more complex approaches like layered matting and shadow box framing.

  • Installation: We take space, materials, viewing ability, and potential risks or hazards when installing a piece of art, and will hang or otherwise secure the works to achieve the best view and most secure display.

Collections Management

Whether a collection contains a handful of artworks or thousands, thoughtful collection management and planning will help ensure all pieces remain in original condition and that the collection continues to grow in a cohesive and thematic manner.

  • Acquisitions: We will provide curatorial guidance on acquisitions that will support your overall collecting goals and expand your collection in an intentional and thoughtful way.

  • Condition Assessments: Through proper condition assessments of a collection, we will align on the best maintenance and restoration procedures to ensure collection longevity.

  • Storage: We can provide guidance on the best storage solutions based on your goals, budget, and available space; whether that be protective sleeves, hanging storage, shelving, temperature and humidity controlled housing, or otherwise.

  • Display and (re)installation: We will provide guidance on display methods to ensure the artwork’s safety and best possible viewing experience. This may include mounting techniques, lighting, protective casing, etc.

  • Appraisal: In instances where clients are seeking to sell, insure, or otherwise asses the value of their artwork, we can provide guidance on which appraisal services will best fit their needs, and facilitate introductions where necessary.

  • Insurance: We can assess current or prospective policies to ensure that the artwork is sufficiently covered, taking into account things like natural disaster, theft, accidents and replacement of one-of-a-kind works.
