art_works drives the creative economy by building bridges between artists and companies, brands, and individuals.

We are a Boston and Montreal-based art advisory operating both within the art world and outside of it to facilitate opportunities for communities un-represented and under-represented within the traditional art ecosystem.

We work with artists directly to site their artwork in the world all while building and managing significant contemporary art collections, implementing visionary art programs, and realizing experiential, site-specific art commissions through a mission-driven lens.
