A major part of Houses of Art’s expertise is the advice they can give to businesses of all sizes to make the most of owning and displaying art. The company can provide cost effective solutions to the crucial questions of how art can reinforce and enhance corporate style.

Having art in the workplace is a way of encouraging creative thinking as well as a public relations spin off. A survey carried out by ICM and Art & Business in the UK found that 73% of employees wanted more art in the workplace, claiming it made them feel more 'motivated' and 'inspired.'

Art, of course, is a sound investment but the motivation for companies to buy art is not just financial. Artworks can improve the office environment, making it a brighter and more interesting place to inhabit. Displaying art provides a company with an enhanced public image; it proclaims that a company is stylish, cultured and has its finger on the pulse of what’s happening in cutting edge art.

An association with the arts encourages staff and the public to think positively about an organization. Companies with art on their walls are generally perceived as being successful and in these times of economic downturn is an added advantage in gaining the confidence of clients, old and new, as well as attracting quality staff to ensure the increased efficiency and output of your business.

It is customary for companies to give their valued employees and clients a gift at Christmas and other special occasions. Houses of Art can suggest and provide gifts of art to make the recipients feel truly appreciated.
