Capital Art Advisory has supported the arts for a long time, and we encourage our clients to do so as well. We are passionate about donating art; it can be wonderfully beneficial to both the institution and donor.

An experienced art advisor can help ensure that supporting the arts is both financially sound and profitable, by leveraging well timed appraisals, tax deductions, and other incentives awarded by the institutions (like private donor functions where business and social connections are frequently made).

Below is a list of museums and universities we have been honored to support throughout the years. Capital Art Advisory is proud that the list is always growing.
