Artist Selection & Curation Services
Curated, vetted artist shortlists matched to your style direction, budget, site, and schedule.
Artist Selection, end to end.
Artist selection is where most commercial art projects succeed or fail. We shortlist from a nationwide network, screening for commercial experience, insurance, reliability at scale, and stylistic fit — not just an appealing feed.
You receive a comparable shortlist: portfolios, relevant precedent, budget alignment, availability, and references, presented so a committee can decide quickly.

The business case for artist selection.
Reduce selection risk
Every shortlisted artist has delivered comparable commercial work before.
Decide faster
A structured, comparable shortlist replaces months of unqualified outreach.
Match style to strategy
Selection starts from the property's audience and brand, not from personal taste.
Confirm capacity
Availability, crew size, insurance, and equipment are verified before the shortlist reaches you.
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.
Often scoped alongside artist selection.
Strategy, budgeting, and curation for property-wide and portfolio-wide art programs.
Hand-painted interior and exterior murals for multifamily, office, retail, hospitality, and mixed-use properties.

One point of contact for contracts, insurance, permits, scheduling, and installation.
Artist Selection questions, answered.
How do you vet artists?+
We review completed commercial work, confirm insurance and business standing, verify experience with the required scale and equipment, and check references from prior commercial clients.
How many artists will I see?+
Usually three to six. Enough for a real comparison, few enough to keep a committee decision on schedule.
Can we run a competitive call instead?+
Yes. For public or high-profile projects we administer an open RFQ with published criteria and a scored panel review.
Do you work with artists we already know?+
Yes. We can contract, manage, and insure an artist you have already identified while handling the commercial process around them.
