About NINE dot ARTS:
NINE dot ARTS is an art consulting and creative placemaking firm that helps clients create one-of-a-kind spaces that captivate audiences and distinguish a memorable sense of place. We do this by curating art from creatives across the country, with a focus on collaborating with artists who are local to each project site.
Our team works on a project-by-project basis, meaning we purchase artwork that matches our client’s brand, goals, and vision. We work with artists, galleries, dealers, and arts organizations from all over the world to find the perfect artwork for each project. Sometimes we find a fit right away, and other times it takes years before we find the right client-artist match. NINE dot ARTS uses ArtCloud to search for and select artwork for our projects across the country.
