Who we serve

Creative work for places people experience.

You run a property, a project or a public program, and you want creative work that lands on time, on budget and on brand. SOV gives you vetted creatives and one accountable partner for the scope, agreements, approvals and install.

Find your path

Start with your world.

Each path walks through what's on your plate, what SOV takes off it, and how a project runs in your setting, start to finish.

We also work with healthcare, cities and arts councils and workplaces and brand events.

How pricing works

Priced on your project, not a percentage.

Priced on scope and complexity: sites, creatives, approvals, fabrication, install and timing. You see the total, then every line, before you sign.

Planning a budget? Many developers set aside about 0.5 to 1 percent of construction cost for art, and many public programs use a percent-for-art rule of around 1 percent of eligible capital budgets. We'll help you size yours in the first conversation.

Your home base

One place for every project, and everyone who signs off.

A free business account keeps the shortlist, budget, approvals, paperwork and finished collection together, so your owner, designer, facilities and procurement team see the same thing.
