Consulting and Master Plans

We don’t always curate art for clients. Sometimes we’re brought in to create strategic plans, including:

Art master plans for new developments, communities, municipal districts, and cities
Strategic art plans for public spaces, such as airports or community venues
Art and programming plans for non-profits and art exhibition spaces

Art should create moments of discovery. And most of all, art should help turn your space into a one-of-a-kind experience. From Vision to Engagement, we’ll guide you through a very collaborative process.

“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
