We Deliver

Incredible outcomes

Through strategic partnership, collaboration, and creative expertise, our creative placemaking services bring value to developers, build community goodwill, and make a positive economic and social impact. Services include…


Custom Art Curation and Installation to Distinguish a Sense of Place

Unlike art galleries or brokers with limited inventories, NINE dot ARTS works with artists from around the world to help clients fill varied spaces with murals, multimedia installations, and more. From hotels, multifamily residential properties, and offices to large-scale, mixed-use developments and interactive public art installations, our custom art collections create a one-of-a-kind sense of place. And our tried and true creative process ensures cohesion with the property’s architecture and design, producing a satisfying and seamless experience that keeps people coming back.

Community Art Planning to Shape Neighborhoods and Cities

NINE dot ARTS develops community art plans (traditionally called “art master plans”) for large-scale developments, municipalities, cities, and communities big and small. We leverage art and culture to uplift local assets and amplify the heart and soul of a place – its people. 

From community engagement to financing and implementation, our community art plans have helped public and private sector clients develop memorable, art-filled destinations that produce social and economic benefits for years to come.

Art Activations to Spark Conversation

Through unique art activations, we help clients increase their brand awareness and elevate their properties both during and after development. Art activations can alleviate construction fatigue, engage the surrounding community, and generate goodwill and good press for the property.

Examples include:

  • Artist labels and QR codes
  • Artist talks, lectures, and workshops
  • Artwork tours led by a NINE dot ARTS curator
  • Temporary murals and installations
  • Artist pop-ups
  • Educational training materials for owners and employees

Our proven process

Our creative process makes art curation a collaborative, efficient, and enjoyable working experience. With comprehensive project management from start to finish, we do the heavy lifting to give you peace of mind. And by starting early, we help create spaces for bold, iconic artwork that would be impossible anywhere else.

From vision development to art installation and everything in between, our proven process culminates in a one-of-a-kind art experience delivered on time and on budget.

“Art and culture are the lifeblood of a space, the connection to something larger that all humans intrinsically want to be part of.”

– Natasha Gallaway, Owner, Cupola, LLC

“Art and culture influences how spaces feel and the impression people have in the space. A space that feels comfortable influences the rental decision.” 

– Martin Owens, Development Director, CMK Companies

Our ability to create authentic experiences for our guests is a key differentiator against our competition, and the art program that NINE dot ARTS created is a prime example. Much of the art comes from current Boston University (BU) students and alumni, which really connects with our guests. As a result, we continue to grow our share of business from BU.”

– Adam Sperling, General Manager, Hotel Commonwealth

“NINE dot ARTS was great to work with and made the art selection fun while capturing our story. They captured not only our image, culture and diversity but also those things that are outside the box that make the project feel right.

– Gary Branch, Director of Construction, Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children
