Artist in Residence
Our Artist in Residence Program connects the clients we serve with world-class artists, fostering opportunities for designing homes finished with meaningful, original art.
About the Program
As our clients grow their art collections, we connect them with artists, introducing artwork early in the design process. Our unique Artist in Residence Program facilitates this goal. The program consists of a twelve-month-long "stay" for one artist. During this time, we display their work in the House of Taste, stamped with the approval of our high-caliber standards. Their pieces become an integral part of client presentations, work sessions, and Taste events. The opportunity to collaborate on commissioned pieces is often a fulfilling one for both artist and patron. We develop the year-long program specific to the unique work and process of each artist.
