Strategic Communications

Art is made in the studio, but art history is made when the work encounters the public. Our strategic communications support helps you make sure the story of your practice resonates.

  • We help you identify what your work means and the threads of experimentation and exploration that connect everything you create to your unique vision.

  • We are experts at navigating the complex world of PR around exhibitions with institutional partners. such as galleries and museums.

  • We are art historians at heart. We write artist statements, create artist info packs, and draft didactic texts for institutional and collector reference.

  • We can be your behind-the-scenes wordsmith, translating your vision into powerful words that resonates with audiences such as curators, critics and collectors.

Owned Media

We help you manage how you present your work in the media channels that belong to you like your website and social media. More importantly, we can influence how images of your work circulate through copyright and licensing counsel.

  • We advise on content strategies to drive engagement and grow your social media following.

  • We clear permissions, create reproduction stipulations, review and advise on non-exclusive licenses for images of artworks, artist portraits and in-studio photography.

  • We help manage relationships between artists and publishers to ensure that catalogue and monograph content aligns with the client goals.

PR for Visual Artists

PR isn’t just publicity. It’s how you prepare thoughtful reactions from the audiences that matter most to you: curators, collectors, dealers, and the general public. We make sure your story lands with impact.

  • We are experts at writing and distributing press releases and advise our clients when they work with institutional partners.

  • We build relationships with Wikipedia editors and secure changes to client pages through our extensive COI editing experience.

  • We prep interviewers, media train artists and liaise with institutions to help create compelling content for public events.

  • We research, identify and pitch writers to get coverage for stories that matter. Publicity is not our core business, but depending on your needs, we can discuss how these services fit in with a larger strategy.
