What Does an Art Consultant Do? Everything You Need to Know (Copy)
When most people hear the word consultant, they think of business suits, PowerPoints, and costly advice wrapped in jargon. But at Creative Debuts, our version of consultancy is something else entirely. It’s bold. It’s visual. It’s human. So, what does an art consultant actually do — and why should you care?
Whether you’re curating an office, launching a hotel, or reimagining a retail space, working with an art consultant can completely transform your environment. Not just aesthetically, but emotionally, socially, and even financially.
Here’s everything you need to know about how an art consultant works — and why it’s one of the smartest investments a business can make.
1. Art Consultants Curate Artwork That Tells Your Story
Art isn’t about filling wall space. It’s about storytelling.
Your brand, your people, your purpose — these deserve to be reflected in your environment. An art consultant helps you translate that identity into visual form. Whether it’s through large-scale murals, rotating gallery walls, or thoughtfully chosen prints, we create a curated experience that resonates with employees, clients, and guests alike.
At Creative Debuts, we start every consultancy with a conversation:
What does your brand stand for?
Who are the people in your space?
What emotions do you want to evoke?
From there, we build a tailored art direction that brings your space to life.
2. We Source the Right Art — Without the Guesswork
Navigating the art world can be overwhelming. Prices vary wildly, styles are subjective, and the process can feel opaque and intimidating. Art consultants cut through the noise.
We have a vast network of emerging and underrepresented artists, meaning we can source high-quality, original work that’s aligned with your budget, timeline, and goals — no second-guessing required.
What you get is:
Art that reflects your brand
Fair pricing with full transparency
Pieces you can’t find on mass-production sites
Access to artists whose voices deserve a platform
It’s like having a creative director, cultural strategist, and curator in one.
3. We Handle the Entire Process (So You Don’t Have To)
Most of our clients are time-poor. They want the impact of art, but without the admin. That’s where our end-to-end project management comes in.
Here’s what we take off your plate:
Developing a creative concept and visual strategy
Researching and commissioning the right artists
Managing timelines, briefs, and feedback loops
Overseeing production, framing, logistics, and installation
From boardrooms to lobbies to wellness zones, we make the process seamless, professional, and always on-brand.
4. We Help You Make the Most of Your Budget
Here’s the myth: art is expensive.
Here’s the truth: bad art choices are expensive.
Hiring an art consultant actually saves money in the long run. Why? Because we ensure:
You’re investing in work that lasts
You avoid common mistakes (like size mismatch or clashing styles)
You get more value through direct artist relationships
You explore options like art rental and subscription models
Whether you're a startup or a global enterprise, we tailor packages that are smart, scalable, and grounded in real-world value.
5. We Make Spaces Feel Human
Art has the power to soften hard edges, brighten dull corners, and spark connection in ways furniture and finishes can’t. In offices, it improves mood and mental health. In hotels, it creates moments that linger. In coworking spaces, it makes people feel like they belong.
Studies have shown that incorporating art into workplaces leads to:
Up to 17% higher productivity (University of Exeter)
Better employee wellbeing and retention
Stronger brand connection and customer experience
That’s ROI that spreadsheets can’t measure — but your people will feel every day.
6. We Champion Living Artists — Not Auction Houses
At Creative Debuts, we don’t work with dead artists or faceless suppliers. We work with real creatives — often from marginalised or underrepresented backgrounds — who are making the art world more vibrant, inclusive, and relevant.
That means your project doesn’t just look good — it does good.
Every pound you spend with us helps:
Pay artists fairly
Fund creative careers
Create more access to the arts
Bring underrepresented voices into mainstream spaces
Your space becomes a platform. Your brand becomes a patron of the arts. That’s a powerful statement.
