How Projects Differ by Client Type

Corporate Projects

Typically involves large scale, multiple location projects collaborating closely with facility managers to coordinate with the client's brand identity and aesthetic goals. Installation happens after hours or on weekends to avoid business disruption.

Private Residential

More intimate consultation process with focus on personal taste and lifestyle integration that considers factors like entertaining spaces, private areas, and coordination with interior design. Often includes services like seasonal rotation and collection expansion over time.

Trade/B2B Projects

We work with designers, architects, and realtors to provide art expertise while they maintain client relationships.Faster turnaround times, trade pricing, and white-label services allow partners to offer comprehensive solutions without building internal art expertise.

Our Service Models

Flexible Project Models to Match Your Needs

Choose the acquisition model that aligns with your objectives, budget, and long-term vision. Each approach offers distinct advantages, and we’ll help you determine the best fit during your consultation.

Lease & Rotation Model
Perfect for dynamic environments that value variety and flexibility

Our lease program provides access to museum-quality art without the commitment of ownership. Refresh your collection quarterly, semi-annually, or annually to keep spaces vibrant and engaging.

  • Lower Initial Investment: Access high-value artworks for a fraction of purchase price with predictable monthly or quarterly payments.

  • Ultimate Flexibility: Swap pieces that aren’t resonating, update themes seasonally, or completely refresh your aesthetic as your brand evolves.

  • Tax Benefits: Lease payments are typically 100% deductible as operating expenses rather than capital expenditures.

  • Test Before Investing: Try different styles and artists before committing to purchases, with option to buy pieces you love at pre-negotiated prices
Purchase & Commission Model
Ideal for building lasting value and establishing permanent collections
Acquire original works, limited editions, or commission custom pieces that become assets on your balance sheet while defining your space’s character for years to come.
  • Asset Building: Art typically appreciates over time, creating tangible value that can be leveraged, donated for tax benefits, or liquidated when needed.

  • Complete Control: Full ownership means freedom to loan pieces, relocate them, or feature them in marketing materials without restrictions.

  • Legacy Creation: Build a collection that tells your story, supports emerging artists, and can be passed to future generations or donated to institutions.

  • Custom Commissions: Work directly with artists to create site-specific pieces that perfectly capture your vision and become signature elements of your space.
Hybrid Model
The best of both worlds for sophisticated collectors
Combine strategic purchases of cornerstone pieces with rotating leases for flexibility, allowing you to build equity while maintaining fresh energy in your spaces.
  • Balanced Investment: Purchase statement pieces and proven artists while leasing trendy or experimental works to test their long-term appeal.

  • Risk Mitigation: Reduce exposure by leasing expensive pieces while purchasing emerging artists with high appreciation potential.

  • Scalable Growth: Start with leases to quickly transform your space, then gradually transition to ownership as budget allows and preferences clarify

  • Portfolio Optimization: Maintain flexibility in high-traffic areas with leases while investing in permanent pieces for executive spaces and boardrooms
Decision Factors to Consider:

Whether you lease, purchase, or combine approaches depends on your financial strategy, space requirements, and organizational culture. We'll analyze your specific situation and recommend the optimal model during your consultation.
