Buy and hang

is  not  a  corporate  art  strategy.

Beyond collecting.  Beyond curating.  We deploy art.

Get Started

Forward-thinking organizations recognize that art is an asset but often fail to fully capitalize on it.

Open Art is the platform reframing how art is acquired, held, and deployed in the corporate sphere.

Our brand, intentional curatorial process and value-add programs bridge art and strategy, enabling new and experienced corporate investors in art to leverage these assets.

Bridging art and strategy

    It's not just a pretty picture.

    If you have walls, you can have real art.  
    If you are a property holder or manager, you are uniquely positioned to integrate art into your spaces, not just to beautify, but to enhance well-being, to inspire and stimulate creativity and ideation, and to communicate and live your company's brand identity and values. Let us show you how.

    You understand our why.

    You’re already a champion of the arts and likely share our belief that art is not a luxury, but essential to the economic and civic vitality of our cities. Champions are sustaining sponsors of the arts and many already maintain a corporate art collection. Yet, they are likely not leveraging the full value of their art holdings.

    Our Spotted Program signals to your stakeholders that collect with intention and purpose; that you view art as a powerful tool for exploration, and; that you value the artist who created it as a meaningful contributor to the economy and vitality of the community.

    Give the gift of art.

    Art can have a positive impact on mental health by promoting feelings of hope, inspiration, and positivity. Art helps humanize institutional settings making them more welcoming and calming, enhancing the well-being of both staff and clients. With limited funding, art is a nice-to-have not a necessity. Why not make art part of your philanthropic giving to local non-profit of community organizations?

    Impact Art is our uniquely structured program benefitting community, artists — and your brand.
