ABOUT US

Founded in 2020, The Art Committee (TAC) is a full-service art advisory focused on building relevant and diverse art collections. Striving to enhance the corporate work environment, TAC advises clients from curation to installation on cohesive artwork acquisitions to build collections that are a true reflection of their client’s unique corporate mission and culture.

With an artist-forward ethos, we are actively engaged in the local and international arts community, seeking studio visits, and attending art fairs, major exhibitions, and biennials. Our cultivation of long-term relationships with artists, curators, dealers, and auction houses allows us to facilitate connections and opportunities at the hyper-local, national, and international levels. This hands-on approach and engagement with established and emerging artists and a wide range of galleries allow us to source timely and exciting acquisitions that support long-term collecting strategies. 

Our approach to acquisitions and refreshing collections is shaped by the location, mission, and culture of our clients. We strive to engage our clients in making meaningful connections with their collections by providing the opportunity to support vibrant art communities.
