dot-art is an art consultancy based in Liverpool city centre, specialising in affordable, high quality, locally sourced art, on a sale, commission and rental basis, as well as offering a range of complementary services including; art consultancy, exhibition planning and implementation, bespoke framing, art valuation and restoration and artist sourcing. dot-art works with over 100 artists to provide an unrivaled choice of affordable, high quality, locally sourced art work for home or business, both through our city centre showroom, external exhibitions and comprehensive website. In addition we source and supply artists for a wide range of other projects, including workshops, training and community participation events. We offer a comprehensive, flexible and affordable service to our corporate clients, from consultancy and sourcing to framing and hanging. Work can be acquired on a purchase, commission or rental basis, and can be built into wider marketing, branding or CSR objectives using a variety of bespoke approaches, including exhibitions, artist talks, promotional launches or events and staff workshops. All our work supports our social enterprise arm, dot-art Services CIC, a not-for-profit organisation which exists to support North-West based visual artists, both emerging and established, through a range of services and activities designed to help them develop their careers and gain exposure and promotion for their work. Since 2011, dot-art Services has also delivered a program of art classes at Liverpool's creative hub the Bluecoat (see: http://www.dot-art.co.uk/art-classes.php); as well as dot-art Schools, our innovative inter school art competition, launched in 2012 (see: http://schools.dot-art.com).
