THE GALLERY 

Since 2010, Brandt Gallery's programming goals have prioritized exhibitions from multi-generational and inclusive perspectives from regional and nationally-based artists working in a variety of styles and media.  We aim to bring our audience contemporary works that are rooted in both traditional subject matter, and increasingly, works and ideas that address present day social narratives. 

ART ADVISING

Assisting our business, hospitality and health care clients through personal art advising provides a vehicle for them to get closer to customers, community and employees.  Creating an art collection enhances an office environment’s interior and exterior spaces.   It defines a corporate identity, adds a new dimension to corporate social outreach and significantly enhances brand image, while investing in culture and providing important support for contemporary artists.
