We work with collectors, families, and institutions to build investment-grade art collections grounded in culture, legacy, and long-term value.
Based in Brooklyn, our practice brings judgment, rigor, and cultural fluency to acquisition decisions—helping clients deploy capital thoughtfully toward work that resonates personally while holding up culturally and financially over time. We focus on contemporary artists from the African diaspora and the Global South.
We advise individuals, families, and institutions on building serious, coherent art collections over time. Our work spans acquisition strategy, sourcing and placement, market and artist insight, and institutional engagement—supporting collectors who view art as a long-term cultural and financial commitment.
In select engagements, we partner with organizations, cultural institutions, and civic initiatives on cultural strategy—applying decades of experience across marketing, nonprofit leadership, and the arts to help align values, narrative, and public presence.
This work is institutional in scope and distinct from our advisory practice.
We've created value for some amazing organizations
- Led the turnaround of Weeksville Heritage Center — securing its permanent line item in the NYC budget and positioning it among the city’s ~34 municipally funded cultural institutions.
- Delivered community visioning and strategic planning for a City of New York cultural initiative — translating neighborhood voices into actionable frameworks for institutional decision-makers.
- Advised HNW collectors and institutions in building investment-grade collections centered on artists of the African diaspora and the Global South — with placements through Jack Shainman Gallery, Yancey Richardson Gallery, and others.
