PROCESS

Assessment
Art Initiative will begin with a site visit, whenever possible, to review the interior space; including floor plans, furniture placement and finishes. Client preferences and design objectives are crucial to our development of a working outline of the style, scale and placement of artwork for the project.

Proposal
A written outline specifying proposed locations, sizes and budget allotments for artwork needed will be submitted for client approval at this stage.

Presentation
Specific artwork options will be presented for each location, as well as artist renderings or macquettes for any custom commissions.

Framing
Art Initiative will design the custom framing for your project with great consideration for how it will work not only within the space, but also with regard for its consistency as a total collection. We will always frame your artwork using archival methods appropriate to the piece.

Coordination of Specialty Items
We’ll handle the fabrication of any presentation pedestals, plexiglass presentation boxes, wall text or related specialty items needed before final artwork installation.
