TESTIMONIALS

We were pleased to work with Art Strategies, under the leadership of Mindy Taylor Ross, when we designed the global distribution headquarters for Cummins in Indianapolis, Indiana. Using a modest portion of the budget, Ross thoughtfully integrated three site-specific art installations by an impressive group of artists into the building program, and she installed numerous existing artworks that reflected the client’s vision and goals for the building. Ross not only understands how to sensitively curate art for clients, she is also skillful at project management—wisely allocating the budget and thinking through the logistics of delivery and installation in a complex building project.

As landscape architects and urban designers, we seek design team partners who share our commitment to enriching public spaces through distinctive placemaking and shared connection and experience. We believe art is a critical ingredient in the success of our public spaces and we have worked with Art Strategies for nearly two decades to incorporate public art within our projects. Mindy and her team have been exceptional partners and bring a level of knowledge and expertise in art and artist curation that is unparalleled and comprehensive, from overall alignment with and understanding of the project’s goals to the detailed implementation and stewardship of individual artworks. Their ability to listen, strategize, advise, collaborate, and execute in a manner that is both highly informed and enjoyable is a rare talent. Art Strategies have been invaluable to our success we would not hesitate to recommend them.

I have had the pleasure of partnering with Mindy Taylor Ross and Art Strategies on a number of projects but first and foremost the Indianapolis Cultural Trail:  A Legacy of Gene & Marilyn Glick. Art Strategies, under Mindy’s leadership, excels at both art curation and project management. They did a fantastic job of engaging national, regional and local artists for the Cultural Trail, thereby simultaneously celebrating local artists while helping create a Trail that is seen as an international example of best practices in beautiful alternative transportation infrastructure, community connectivity and economic development.

After working with Mindy curating the art for two large projects at Cummins, I was impressed by her wealth of contemporary art knowledge, expertise, and her global network. Not only did she reinvigorate our desire to collect art, I knew that she had access to work and artists that we couldn't possibly reach on our own. She was also able to cull down a vast marketplace to offer us the best options and opinions based on our tastes, interests and budget.

Our experience with Mindy and Art Strategies was exceptional. Mindy took the time to learn about our business and our culture and recommended artworks to us that were not only beautiful but helped tell our story as an organization. We valued Mindy’s thoughtful and strategic approach to art and her commitment to getting to know us and our tastes. As a result, the art in our offices has completely transformed our physical space and enhanced our work environment. We would recommend Mindy and Art Strategies without reservation to anyone who is looking for a professional willing to do much more than simply find art to fill spaces.
