Intimate Events. Lasting Impressions.
Make Your Brand Part of the Conversation
The Art of Design creates intimate, curated art experiences that connect your brand directly with high-value audiences: creatives, collectors, tastemakers, hospitality leaders, and culture-focused consumers.
Our boutique event series, known as Happenings, isn't all about mass exposure; it's about meaningful brand placement in the right room with the right people. These are immersive, interactive moments designed to tell your story through art, design, and conversation.
Here's why it matters:
Culture That Feels Genuine
Work with artists to create brand moments that feel natural and elevated, not forced or gimmicky.
Content That Lasts
Every package includes professional content you can reuse across socials, email, and PR. You don’t just show up, you leave with a campaign.
Launch into the Season
September kicks off NYC’s art calendar. Our fall Happenings give your brand first-in access to a fresh, culture-forward audience.
