Our response to COVID-19
Art offers hope and respite in difficult times.
We care about you.
We care about you, the Artists we represent and our community. As global health concerns rise, we’re doing our best to keep you safe while continuing to support the 50 Artists we represent who rely on us for their livelihood. It’s important to keep the arts alive, especially when we need it the most.
