One of our specialties is finding thematic artwork - and sometimes helping a client develop their vision for a theme. These pieces were installed for a municipal regulation firm in Washington, DC. The photos represent the different types of projects the organization oversees funding for, nationally.
More Than Just Rectangles and Squares
A challenge we run into on many projects is how to artistically address large walls without breaking the bank. One way we've found is to incorporate artwork that is dynamic and made in individual parts or sections to limit the amount of materials being used. In this installation, for a Tysons VA government consulting firm, we retained an artist to create a custom composition of screenprinted, wood mounted prints to a large feature wall in the client's conference center. The installation took a full day, with the artist carefully aligning the circles vertically.
Bioscience Artwork
Artists Circle has been retained by a large Montgomery County biologics R&D firm to install artwork in several buildings across their campus. While we do love to install beautiful artwork, a good portion of our time is spent on project management. In this case, taking several thousand pieces of art and determining how to spread them across buildings with different design schemes in a way that feels cohesive.

Multifamily Marathon
Our creative team is busy at work on at least six different multifamily projects right now. Here are a few images from one that we just wrapped up.
Happy Holidays from Artists Circle
Artists Circle at the Healthcare Design Conference
Over the past three or so years, we have really been expanding our Healthcare portfolio. We decided to attend the Healthcare Design Conference at Gaylord National Harbor. Check out photos of our booth, including a few responses to our "conversation piece" (ha!) - a bench that people can talk into!

So Many New Projects!
Check back in on our blog for a bunch of exciting new projects! A lot of our meetings have looked like this lately...
Fall 2015 Beer Tasting & Show Opening!
If you didn't come, you missed out on an AWESOME time! Guests were treated to tasting 7 different beers while viewing the artwork of Christopher Mangan, Nicole Mueller, and David Knopp.
Many are asking which beer won "best in show". Flying Dog's Counter Culture was the top pick. Nice to have a local brewery as the favored amongst the many.
Every Day This Place Looks Different!
Jack is planning a timelapse camera setup to show you how much the Artists Circle gallery changes every day: new art/packages arrive, we change which artwork is hanging, build models for projects, move around big sculptures and wall art... AND.. assemble dozens of easels for an upcoming "Evening of Artwork and Conversation", a networking event we are helping one of our clients organize.
Hanging Out at Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Artists Circle's installation crew has been assisting Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) for years, hanging artwork in the Janelia Farm (Ashburn, VA) and Headquarters (Bethesda, MD) gallery spaces. Here are Clifford and Andrew installing the most recent show!
