Begin with your site
Start with the setting and access. For an apartment or shared building, check delivery appointments, elevator dimensions and installation permissions with the building team. For a business or public setting, include the audience, daily use and any restrictions on work taking place on site.
Light, architecture and public life
FLEXUS in Queens offers one example of an artist responding to existing infrastructure. Brooklyn’s Everything Good Studio provides another starting point for thinking about participation and technology. These examples demonstrate creative approaches; they are not a measure of the state’s most popular commission categories.

Build a useful brief
For a painting, include the wall and room dimensions. For an installation, describe sightlines, power and maintenance access. Share whether the work must fit an existing interior scheme or can influence it.
Choose the category that fits
Portraits and paintings, sculpture and murals each need a different making and delivery plan. We can explore US and international artists, with location and installation requirements considered before a quote is agreed.
These guides offer planning ideas and documented examples. We do not claim a local office or a confirmed artist roster in every state.
