Distinctive Art Source is a turnkey art consulting firm, working exclusively in healthcare. We help hospitals and medical facilities create customized patient-based art programs centered on research, evidence-based design and owner, architect and designer input. Our goals are twofold: to introduce unexpected art options and solutions to every project and to involve the local art community whenever possible. Our firm’s architectural background blends seamlessly into the existing design process. Budgets and schedules are important to us; we do not exceed budgets and we do not miss deadlines. |
