Commercial Art Consulting Services
Strategy, budgeting, and curation for property-wide and portfolio-wide art programs.
Art Consulting, end to end.
Art consulting answers the questions that come before a commission: what the art should accomplish, where it belongs, what it should cost, and how it fits the broader property or portfolio strategy.
We deliver an art program — a documented plan covering locations, mediums, budget allocation, phasing, and procurement — that survives leadership changes and scales across assets.
- Art program strategy document
- Site and opportunity mapping

- Procurement and phasing plan
- Curatorial direction and mood direction
- Ongoing program governance
The business case for art consulting.
Spend with intent
Budget goes to the locations and mediums with the highest visible return.
Create portfolio consistency
A documented program keeps quality consistent across assets and teams.
De-risk approvals
Strategy documented early prevents late-stage stakeholder disagreement.
Phase intelligently
Programs are sequenced against construction, leasing, and capital timelines.
How the engagement runs.
- 01
Discovery
We review the site, the audience, the brand, and the constraints — surfaces, access, timeline, budget range, and approvals.
- 02
Planning
We translate the goal into a scope: locations, formats, square footage, permitting path, and a realistic schedule.
- 03
Artist selection
We shortlist vetted artists whose style, commercial track record, and availability fit the project, then run the selection with you.
- 04
Design
Concepts, revisions, and renderings in context so stakeholders approve what will actually be installed.
- 05
Project management
Contracts, insurance, permits, site logistics, and schedule tracking — one point of contact through the whole build.
- 06
Installation
Coordinated on-site execution, quality review, protective coatings where needed, and final documentation photography.

Art Consulting questions, answered.
What does an art consultant do?+
An art consultant defines what art a property needs and why, sets the budget and locations, curates the direction, and manages procurement so the result serves the business goal rather than arriving by accident.
Is consulting worth it on a single wall?+
For a single wall, our mural service usually covers it. Consulting pays off across multi-location properties, phased developments, and portfolios.
How is art consulting priced?+
Typically a fixed fee for the strategy phase, then a management fee on commissions delivered under the program.
Do you work with existing collections?+
Yes. We assess what is already owned, recommend what to keep, relocate, deaccession, or commission, and document the result.
