Services

Through art rental, brands can invest in art and express their commitment to culture affordably, flexibly, and risk-free.

 

Our pioneering art rental model enables the rotation of art collections on a regular basis, creating opportunities to tell a wide range of stories and reflect important values while supporting an expanding roster of artists with regular income.

Every project at Artiq is supported by a dedicated art consultant who guides you through the journey of acquiring an art collection.

 

We help brands navigate the complexities of the art world, guiding them to establish a clear brief and creative direction as well as curating, procuring, and installing meaningful artwork to achieve their aims.

Through in-depth exploration, we establish the creative direction of our projects alongside clients and other creative partners, forming a sense of the desired narrative, aesthetic and scale that helps set the parameters for the curation stage.

Artiq’s has an expert team of curators, with the kind of contemporary art knowledge and artist networks that simply cannot be found elsewhere.

 

For each project, at least one of them will form a dedicated project team with our consultant and art researchers to identify artists and artworks that meet the project brief.

Crafted with a specific narrative or site in mind, bespoke commissions bring unparalleled character to any space or place.

 

Our team manages the process of commissioning new artworks, including studio visits with clients to view works in progress and supporting artists from conception through to installation.

Once we have identified the artworks that will make up a collection, our procurement team prepares them for display, often through a combination of purchasing, leasing or commissioning.

 

They also attend to all contracts, licensing obligations as well as shipping and import arrangements.

Working alongside local authorities, developers, architects and planning consultants, we carry out public consultations on new, permanent public artworks.

 

We can identify and commission suitable artists, supervise shortlisting and oversee the installation of the final piece.

Our team of highly skilled art handling technicians look after the transfer of artworks from our storage facility to the display site and oversee their safe installation to an exceptional standard.

Our initial consultancy process will, where necessary, incorporate a detailed review of your existing art collection.

 

Where relevant, we can help you get more from an existing art collection, preparing it for sale or reviving and reconditioning it.

To better understand the value of your collections, we will compile a full catalogue and condition report, photograph every piece and identify any hidden gems before our valuations team makes its assessment.

 

For sale items, we work with major auction houses to realise the artwork's highest value.

We facilitate opportunities for dialogue between those who make the art and those who invest in it.

 

Many of the experiences and events we stage are the result of collaborations and partnerships with brands, alongside our work on commissions and art rental collections.
