Redefining Your Corporate Environment

At Stephenson's Gallery, we believe that art is more than just decoration; it is a powerful strategic asset. For modern businesses, a thoughtfully curated art collection is a crucial tool for achieving core business objectives, from expressing a distinct brand identity to enhancing employee well-being and attracting top talent.   

We partner with businesses in the York area to create art programs that transform corporate spaces into dynamic and inspiring environments. Our approach is a full-lifecycle collaboration, ensuring your art collection works as hard as your team.

Our Services

Art Strategy & Curatorial Planning

Our process begins with a deep-dive consultation to understand your corporate vision, brand values, and specific business goals. We work with you to develop a comprehensive, long-term art strategy that aligns with your objectives and can even incorporate investment goals. Our curators provide bespoke proposals that reflect your company's unique culture, ensuring every piece of art serves a purpose beyond aesthetics.   

Collections Management

We offer an ongoing collections management service to protect your investment and ensure your art collection remains a vibrant and effective asset. Our team provides regular assessments, conservation oversight, documentation, and insurance management. This service transforms a one-time project into a seamless, long-term partnership that preserves your art and your brand's values. 

Art-as-a-Service (Art Rental & Rotation)

The dynamic nature of our art-as-a-service model ensures your workspace remains fresh and engaging. Our flexible Art Rental Scheme allows you to rotate artworks on a quarterly or biannual basis, which can boost employee morale and creativity. This cost-effective solution is a tangible tool for well-being and stress relief, and as a corporate expense, it is often tax-deductible.   

Bespoke Art Commissions

For clients who desire a truly unique statement, we offer a dedicated art commissioning service. We coordinate the entire process, from selecting the perfect artist to overseeing the project from initial concept to final installation. A custom commission can be designed to tell your company's story or reflect a specific brand identity, resulting in a one-of-a-kind artwork that cannot be replicated.   

Employee Engagement Workshops

Our creative workshops directly address the modern corporate need for team building and employee well-being. We collaborate with local artists to provide unique experiences like collaborative mural creation or painting sessions. These activities are a proven way to foster creativity, improve communication, and provide a constructive outlet for stress and burnout.

VR Exhibitions & Digital Showcases

Harness the power of technology to make your collection accessible to a global audience. We can create 3D virtual tours of your art collection, allowing remote employees, clients, and partners to experience your brand through art. This service turns your art collection into a dynamic and innovative marketing asset.

Our Commitment to York

We are more than just an art gallery; we are a champion of the York creative economy. By focusing on local artists, we provide our corporate clients with an authentic, community-oriented collection that demonstrates a genuine, symbiotic relationship with the region. York has a thriving creative and digital sector and is a UNESCO Creative City of Media Arts. This ethical approach provides a powerful differentiator, allowing your business to align with its corporate social responsibility goals while acquiring meaningful art.   

Let's Collaborate

Art consultants are an essential part of the project team for many large-scale construction and design projects. We proactively build relationships with architects and interior designers to ensure art is an intrinsic part of the design vision from the very beginning, rather than an afterthought. Our professional approach is valued by our partners, who trust us to find the perfect finishing touch for any space. We are especially well-positioned to serve the city given major regeneration projects like York Central and the redevelopment of the Guildhall.
