An Agency for the Art World
Our
Services
-
Artist Management
Support for realizing public projects and activities outside of the gallery purview. Securing and negotiating brand partnerships for artists and their dreams.
-
Brand Strategy
Advise brands on alignment with cultural activities and create partnerships and activations that reflect this strategy and reach a discerning audience.
-
Curatorial Services
Developing meaningful cultural programming and exhibitions for brands, real estate developments, hotels, etc.
-
Sponsorship Solicitation
Unlocking marketing budgets to direct financial support towards realizing art projects, gallery or institutional programming and events, and sponsorship of art fairs.
Why?
We aim to diversify revenue streams for artists. The art market can be volatile and soft at times; it is important for artists to be able to generate revenue in other ways than sales. Additionally, not all cultural projects are commercial, yet they all need funding.
We help unlock marketing dollars from brands, and direct those towards supporting the artistic projects that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. We make brands realize that they can spend smartly (and usually less) by leveraging artistic content for their activations. Everyone wins!
Through our deep understanding of brand marketing, we help cultural organizations fundraise from corporate sponsors by connecting the dots and creating curatorial strategies that align with the artistic vision and the brand.
