Frequently asked questions

Do you provide art consulting for Caribbean hotels and resorts?
Yes. Art Firm has delivered art programs in Puerto Rico, Antigua, St. Lucia, Barbados, Turks & Caicos and Guyana, and in Mexico.

How do you make art feel specific to an island without looking themed?
We research each location's landscape, culture and history, then abstract it so the work reads first as composition and only afterward as subject.

Will the art hold up in a coastal climate?
Our marine grade art programs use assemblies specified for the coast, such as acrylic glazing instead of glass, sealed non-organic substrates, polymer and metal mouldings and corrosion resistant hardware. See our article on marine grade art for coastal hospitality.

Do you work with our interior designer and procurement team?
Yes. We work within the design team's vision and the procurement company's schedule and budget.

Where is the art made?
In our own factory at our headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
