Our Clients' Experiences

To start the New Year, we're sharing real client experiences that illuminate what you can expect from working with us.  Nearly every client comes to us with a mix of skepticism and excitement. They're unsure how we'll understand their taste and if we're able to source art that they truly appreciate in the long term. Here’s a window into how our clients’ feel after working with us, in the short and long term, and how their perspectives shift. 

IN THE SHORT TERM, OUR CLIENTS FOUND . . .

Our clients' Toronto urban oasis. Featured in Architectural Digest, and the hallmark example of a successful client experience. 

1. They connect with their own wants and/or their partner through our process.

We structure each project to include a space for conversations around what art draws you in on a personal level and why.  It's a refreshing departure from the typical household decision-making exchange, and one that fosters productive reflection and connection. 

2. They understand art quality and value.

Most clients believe they have no sense of art world pricing. During our initial presentation, our clients are proud to learn that they do have a discerning eye.  They quickly begin to understand cost drivers and quality within the broader art market from our simple conversation. This key knowledge enables them to acquire wisely going forward. 

CLIENTS’ LONG-TERM FINDINGS ARE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT . . .

1. They feel the emotional dividends from living with their art collection.

Being surrounded by meaningful pieces has a major positive impact on your mentality; it increases a sense of connection to others, appreciation for diverse cultures, thinking, and expressions, and prompts an acceptance that reduces stress. Combined, this creates a more personally comfortable home environment.  That is something to covet. 

2. They are confident about their taste in art and can navigate galleries, art fairs and more.

The art world is elusive and intimidating, and having the knowledge of where and how to see art opens up possibilities for solo and group activities, both impromptu and planned, travel opportunities, and ongoing fulfilling learning. Looking at, learning about, and thinking about art also serves as a useful and complementary break from every day stressors.

3. They develop a more positive mindset.

Developing an appreciation for art, particularly with someone else, or when you previously didn’t think you had it in you, breeds a new kind of confidence. Specifically, art appreciation skills enable you to have a more open mindset and positive outlook - mindsets that can positively transform your personal and professional life.
