NYFA Curatorial Services
The New York Foundation for the Arts' Curatorial Services offer organizations, corporations, and individuals the opportunity to integrate contemporary art into their offices, headquarters, or homes. Companies and individuals will have total control throughout the acquisition process. NYFA's curatorial services allow collectors the unique opportunity to either commission an artist to create a site specific installation or purchase a previously completed work that coincides with the collector's aesthetic.
Over the past forty years, NYFA has established lasting relationships with thousands of visual, literary, and performing artists working in all disciplines and styles. NYFA's in house curator will help potential collectors forge similar, and equally positive, relationships with current or former Fellows. Whether large or small, permanent or temporary, for a courtyard or office, NYFA's curators will work with you and your organization to ensure you receive the absolute best work for your space and needs.
