our beliefs
BUY LOCAL
A primary trend in our current marketplace is supporting local artists from whom our project is located. It not only speaks of your company culture but also gives back to the community. Many of our projects are national and we research and locate appropriate artists that would support your corporate collection. Buying local also inspires conversation and creates your image.
Other local themes include art representing scenes of the unique place where your facility is located, historical images or stories representing your town/city, special stories of your locale.
DIVERSITY
Our company represents artist of all diversities. Art Solutions as a women-owned small business find it important to support all races and genders. We advocate for the human race with promoting a common culture based on fairness, understanding and humanity through our DEI initiative.
EVIDENCE BASED ART
The best art for healthcare is the art that creates a calming environment for the patient. The key is to put the patient first. Keeping this in mind, we do our best to form this idea in one with our client's tastes and requests.
TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS
We pride ourselves on our research to provide site-specific art to our clients. We will also research industry-specific art to coordinate with your image and brand.
