Frequently Asked Questions
-
We are different in every way. We are mission-driven. Our aim is not just to acquire art for clients but to help them become true patrons who are making investments, not just in art, but in the artists who fuel the vitality of our communities. We also help clients leverage the value of their assets, which is something they are not currently doing. So, it’s not just what we do—it’s how we do it that sets us apart.

Fundamentally we help clients acquire art by local artists. But it’s the programming surrounding the selection and exposition that is our value-add. Our platform has multiple programs to meet the needs of both experienced and novice collectors. All have bespoke elements designed to meet an organization’s requirements. #Spotted is intended for those with existing collections.

Art and design are everywhere! You are interacting with it all the time. But one of our aims is to demystify art. Art appreciation is completely subjective and is not dependent on knowledge. Everyone responds to art. You get it! We got you.

We try to dispense with that terminology, but in fact, our curation approach is completely novel and at the heart of the platform. In a private setting, the number one “rule” is buy what you like because art markets can be fickle. In a corporate or institutional context we believe it’s important to be both intentional and objective. Our methodology is informed by this view.
