Our Mission

We believe in the transformative power of art. A collection that reflects one’s aesthetic can enliven a space and bring peace and joy.

Because art is personal, our team of experts works closely with clients to understand their tastes and preferences, offering personalized recommendations and guidance throughout the selection process. To guarantee an exceptional collecting experience, we also offer installation and lighting services, as well as collections management and appraisals.

Whether you’re an experienced art collector or just starting out, The Art Sol offers an unparalleled opportunity to discover and acquire pinnacle works of art by living artists.

At The ArtSol, we believe art should be celebrated and enjoyed by all. That’s why we host a range of public events, including artist talks, workshops, and small group dinners with meals created to enhance the art. Every experience we offer is designed to engage and inspire audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

About Us

We Are a Nomadic Gallery with Traditional Roots

The Art Sol is a project dreamed up by two intrepid curators looking for a way to get back to their roots. Rose Fredrick and Olive Witwer began working together in 2020 on a major national exhibition and had so much fun they were soon cooking up ways to bring artists and collectors together in unique and unforgettable ways, like small dinners where they paired a chef with an artist and brought in collectors to take part in the perfect dinner party–a feast for all the senses.

 

Story

Our Story

And since art spaces are difficult to obtain and, honestly,  not something either curator wanted to maintain, they started looking for unusual venues in and around Denver, Colorado, where they both live. Turns out, if you’re willing to look outside the norm, there are lots of great places that can be converted into funky art space.

And so, we invite you to join us on a journey of discovery and exploration, as we push the boundaries of contemporary realism in art and celebrate the beauty and power of the ephemeral.

When you subscribe to our site, you will be among the first to know when new art is available for sale, as well as exclusive events, exhibits, talks and visits to private collections. You will know when the latest edition of our podcast Dinner with Artists comes out and know when we have space for audiences to our live recordings.
