HBA has formed Canvas, a comprehensive art consultancy focused on enhancing exceptional hospitality interior designs with well-conceived and fully realized art collections. Formerly known individually as International Art Collaborative (Atlanta), Art Group International (LA), and HBA Art (Singapore), these three consultancies (plus a brand new division in Hong Kong) have joined forces under one collective name. The affiliate will do everything from budgeting and concept planning to procurement and installation.
“We’ve developed an unrivaled grouping of artists, consultants and designers whose work speaks for itself,” says Matthew Whitaker, director of Canvas. “Making their talents available to hospitality and other luxury design firms that share our belief in the power of art to transform aligns perfectly with our long-term vision.”
