You love your home. Its energy efficient, the furniture is carefully chosen and well placed, the colour scheme complimentary. Yet there are vast expanses of walls and counter-tops and even some floor space where just the right piece of art can bring the whole look together. Between work and family, many people do not have time to shop. Some also THINK they don't know much about art. What do you do?
If you're like a growing number of people, you call Elliot Nitkin of The Art Concierge. His background and philosophy combine to help him select works of art that compliment your living space, reflect your taste and make you happy.
"The real value is in helping you focus your thoughts on what you really like, enjoying a personal connection to the artist's message and finding pieces for consideration," says Elliot. "My service is based around this notion and the reality that your time is very limited. I offer only in-home service. I come to you to save you time and, because you will enjoy the art in your home or office, you should see it there."
The most important consideration is finding art that resonates with who you are.
"Your home is the one place you have the right to make entirely personal," says Elliot. "It has long been my firmly held belief that no one should relinquish their right to decide what in art makes them happy. Art is the height of personal expression. Boldly displaying our tastes with pride makes us stronger individuals."
Elliot can also use technology to work with your schedule.
"I can go to the gallery or retailer and 'meet' with you over the internet to select pieces. I then bring the ones you like to your home, again saving you time and money. For those who want time to make their decision, I will create a personalized online catalogue of ideas for you to review until you are ready."
The Art Concierge gives you the art for your home that you would select yourself if you had time.
"From prints to limited editions and originals, sculpture, framing, decor and gifting, I can provide options for almost any budget. Once you have made a decision, I provide framing and installation services. I don't charge for my time, so you pay the same retail price you would if you went yourself."
The objective is to allow you to select the pieces you like on your schedule and within your budget. The best part is that it costs the same as it would if you went to shop in person.
"Everyone deserves a personal shopper, now you can afford one. In an age where 'style gurus' abound, getting lost in a blitz of opinions can deflate your sense of individualism. Owning your choice changes that. I can help."
If you want help defining your taste, or in maximizing your time, call Elliot at 604-351-9251 or check out The Art Concierge online at theartconcierge.net.
