ART + REAL ESTATE

Art Of Development is an art consulting agency dedicated to serving real estate companies by creating unique collaborations between artists and properties, both commercial and residential. As liaisons between the two, support urban development as it is a literal platform for local and international artists to showcase their work, which in turn drives public interest and attracts media attention.

AOD supports new urban development projects in every stage of the construction, from the planning phase to the opening ceremony. We have a proven track record of successful space activations and delivering relevant social messages for both brand new constructions and old industrial properties.

AOD curates public art projects such as murals, big scale art installations, 3d mapping, mosaic, art banners and fences, as well as setting up art residences and pop-ups for construction-in-progress buildings.

Collaborations that aim at showcasing public art on commercial buildings can attract a lot of social media attention and create an ecosystem that contributes to the urban development of the city and brings the community together.

Very often we act as a mediator between a real estate professional and an artist to help both parties communicate in the most productive and successful way to create art projects that become a remarkable landmark of the city and help developers highlight the uniqueness of their property.

PERCENT FOR ART

“What is Percent For Art?”

— Percent for art, also known as the “Private Arts Development Fee Program”, or “ADF”, is a city ordinance, where a fee, usually a percentage of the project cost, is placed on large scale development projects in order to fund and install public artworks. For example, the owner of a private development project valued at $500,000 or more, including office, retail, manufacturing, warehouse, or hotel, must pay an arts fee based on the square footage of the building or one-percent of the project’s Building and Safety permit valuation, whichever is lower. A private developer may choose either to work with city authorities to oversee their own site-specific ADF-funded art project (“developer-led project”) or to pay the fee associated with their project (“paid-in fee”).
