Established in London in 1984 as an independent art consultancy supplying curated art for offices through the artworld passion of directors Virginia Grub and Nelson Cornish, Art Contact now provides individualised expertise and collection management services to clients from the corporate, healthcare, hotel and residential sectors. Our commitment to nurturing artists at all stages of their careers whilst ensuring the art in our clients’ spaces reflects their own vision, has always been at the heart of what we do. It’s never just about pictures on walls.
Every project is unique. Whether it’s a corporate office space, a sensitive healthcare setting, an international hotel or a private residence, finding the right artistic approach, in conversation with the client, is always a fascinating process.
Our Projects
Art Contact offers a complete and bespoke curatorial service tailored to each client. From the initial meeting to develop a long-term art strategy, to auditing your existing collection, purchasing or commissioning new works and handling the specialist job of installation, we integrate your art with your vision.
Art Contact Services
Since the beginning, Art Contact’s ethos has been to nurture emerging contemporary and modern artists, alongside established names. This gives an inspirational creative directory of artists for clients to explore, whether for existing artwork or new commissions.
