Last year, we launched a photography service. Why? Because we felt that galleries, museums and art institutions should have access to quality photos without the price tag.\u00a0We provide a photography service that is tailored to the art world with professionals that have experience in shooting art. The photos are hosted on our site and include an editorial component, ensuring that our clients get the attention they deserve. Win, win!<\/p>\n

Every month, we’ll highlight one of our clients, and this month goes to one of our first and favorite museums that hired us, The American Folk Art Museum<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since 1961 the American Folk Art Museum has been shaping the understanding of art by the self-taught through its exhibitions, publications, and educational programs. As a center of scholarship and by showcasing the creativity of individuals whose singular talents have been refined through experience rather than formal artistic training, the museum considers\u00a0the historical, social, and artistic context of American culture.\u00a0Its collection includes more than seven\u00a0thousand artworks dating from the eighteenth century to the present, from compelling portraits and dazzling quilts to powerful works by living self-taught artists in a variety of mediums.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our first event with the American Folk Art Museum took place at Hotel Americano for the Official After-Party for the Outsider Art Fair<\/a>. Young Folk, is the young patrons arm for supporters in their twenties and thirties. Young Folk is\u00a0a community that explores\u00a0folk and self-taught art through dynamic programs, intimate private collection and artist\u2019s studio visits, creative, blow-out parties, and engaging social media.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
