Mighty Mighty builds meaningful, investment-grade art collections for individuals, families, and organizations who understand collecting as a long-term cultural and financial commitment.
Based in Brooklyn, our advisory practice focuses on acquisitions that express identity, lay the foundation for legacy, and build enduring cultural capital.
We bring judgment, rigor, and context to art collecting decisions, helping clients deploy capital thoughtfully toward work that resonates personally and holds up culturally and financially over time.
Our practice centers on contemporary artists from the African diaspora and the Global South. With a nuanced understanding of both primary and secondary markets, and long-standing relationships with galleries and artists, we help clients acquire works that are timely, significant, and often ahead of broader market recognition.
Our advisory work is best suited to collectors who are prepared to invest both time and capital in building a collection deliberately, rather than acquiring art casually or decoratively.

Art Advisory Services
♦Collection Development Strategy
We work with collectors to establish a clear acquisition framework—clarifying vision, defining parameters, and setting a disciplined strategy for building a coherent, long-term collection rather than a series of isolated purchases.
♦Sourcing & Placement
We source and secure works across primary and secondary markets, including galleries, fairs, and private channels—overseeing pricing strategy, negotiation, and logistics to ensure acquisitions are made thoughtfully and responsibly.
♦Artist & Market Insight
We provide curatorial perspective and market intelligence grounded in deep engagement with artists, galleries, and institutions—supporting informed decisions about timing, context, and long-term cultural and financial relevance.
♦Institutional Placement & Stewardship
We advise collectors on opportunities for institutional placement, including museum loans and public exhibitions, strengthening provenance, visibility, and the long-term positioning of key works within a broader cultural context.
Collection Strategy & Acquisition Advisory
- For individuals and families who have decided to build a serious art collection and want a disciplined, long-term approach to acquisition. Engagements focus on establishing a clear collecting framework, identifying priority artists and markets, and guiding acquisitions with attention to cultural relevance, artist trajectory, and long-term value. This work is typically structured as an ongoing advisory relationship or a defined strategic phase, depending on the collector’s goals and timeline.
Investment-Grade Art Audit — Art & Legacy
- For collectors, families, and institutions with existing collections seeking a clear-eyed assessment of their holdings. This engagement evaluates cultural significance, artist trajectory, and market positioning, and provides strategic recommendations for stewardship, refinement, growth, or institutional placement. The Art Audit often serves as a foundation for future acquisition strategy or legacy planning.
Corporate & Institutional Collection Strategy
- For brands, real estate ventures, and mission-driven organizations using art as a form of cultural capital. Engagements focus on collection vision, acquisition strategy, and programming that aligns art with institutional values, public presence, and long-term impact. This may include artist sourcing, advisory support, and curated activations such as exhibitions, executive immersions, or artist-led engagements.
Institutional Engagement & Placement
- For collectors seeking to thoughtfully place works within museums, public exhibitions, or institutional contexts. This work supports decisions around loans and visibility, strengthening provenance and long-term positioning while ensuring alignment with the artist’s career trajectory and the collector’s broader goals.
