Art Sales + Services: Our Top 5 Favourite Installation Projects

SJ Rintjema

- March 27, 2024

Of all the projects we have worked on over the years, this collection of installations has truly stood out in our hearts and minds. Join us as we reflect on installations we’ve collaborated on with inspiring clients! Our team of expert Art Consultants helped each client select artworks and install them in their unique spaces.

Art Sales + Services provides full service to both corporate and private collectors. We work directly with our clients or their teams of designers, art consultants, and/or architects to narrow down options for purchasing artwork. Once selections are made, we can assist with custom framing, deciding where and how to hang the piece, and having the work delivered and installed.

1. Frost Design

What it was:

This was such a fun project! We were approached by Vicky Frost of Vicky Frost Design to pull together a collection to be installed in a beautiful custom-built home on Lake Ontario. We worked with Vicky and her clients to select works that felt right in each room and made a coherent collection when viewed together.

Why we love it:

Working with designers is always a treat. They have such an appreciation for original artwork and how it harmonizes with well-designed interior spaces.

Planning + Coordinating: Confetti & Co.
Florals, Styling, Prop Rentals: Sue Gallo Designs.

2. Wedding & Event Services, Art Gallery of Hamilton

What it was:

We’ve included a few of our favourite AGH Weddings & Events artwork installations here. The Wedding & Event Services team at the Gallery are so creative with their clients! For each event, we are usually given a theme and a budget, and we prepare a selection of works for the clients to choose from.

Why we love it:

It is a challenge! The themes we are presented with are sometimes classic or colour themes, but sometimes they get pretty creative. It is exciting to see how the works selected complete the client’s vision – installed with florals, lighting, and decor.

3. Ron Joyce Children’s Hospital

What it was:

The AGH was approached by the planning committee to source artwork for the Ron Joyce Children’s Hospital which was recently built in Hamilton. We worked closely with the committee to design this site-specific, cosmos-themed installation.

Why we love it:

The cosmos has been a source of inspiration from time immemorial. It was such a beautiful concept to propose, develop, and place in this institution for pediatric care.

4. The Diplomat

What it was:

We worked with Equal Parts Hospitality to select, install and feature many local artists in their establishment, The Diplomat. They designed a menu entirely based on the artwork to run concurrently with our annual Art Sale.

Why we loved it:

These artworks completely transformed the restaurant! And it was fun to experience the fusion of art and food at one of our favourite local restaurants.

5. Private Residence, Norfolk County

What it was:

We worked with new collectors to establish keystone artworks for their newly renovated home.

Why we love it:

There is something so special about working with clients who are new to collecting. Whether it’s one piece or (in this case) several, getting to take the ride along with folks as they first consider and acquire artwork is meaningful and exciting.


Do you have an upcoming project, event, or unique installation idea that you think our Art Consultants can help you with, feel free to reach out to us at artsale@artgalleryofhamilton.com anytime. We always love a good challenge!
