Featured Project
Sioux Falls Regional Airport
The Sioux Falls Regional Airport wanted to revitalize its artwork and bring new life to its recently expanded atrium. The Washington Pavilion Art Consulting team helped refresh artwork throughout the airport and guided the artist selection process for the atrium, leading to Rachel Hayes’ Magic Hours, a large-scale installation whose colors shift with the natural light throughout the day.

“Any specialty or expertise—we can try to do it ourselves, but why would you when you can work with a team of experts who know the field?”Dan Letellier Executive Director

From first conversation to final installation
Discovery
We start by listening and learning who you are, what you like and what you want to convey. We discuss your goals and budget, then walk through your space to understand how it’s used and identify where artwork can have the most impact.
Expert guidance from start to finish, with your goals, budget and feedback always front and center.
Curation
We turn what we learn into possibilities, identify artists who align with your vision and create digital mockups so you can see how the artwork will look in your space. We refine the selections based on your feedback.
Delivery
We take your selections from final approval to installation. We coordinate purchasing, framing and transportation. In the process, we consider security, durability and the longevity of your artwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions before getting started? We’ve answered a few of the things clients ask us most.
We first listen to understand your goals, preferences and budget. Then we research artists and artwork and present you with curated options. We refine selections based on your feedback and finally coordinate purchasing and installation.
As early as possible. If it’s a new building, even before construction begins. Early involvement allows time for custom commissions, artwork designed specifically for larger spaces and installation before employees move in.
No. Our museum work gives us strong connections with artists, galleries and museums, but we also look beyond those relationships. We work directly with local and regional artists, research artists outside the area and use calls for artists when a project calls for something new.
We work with artists across a variety of styles and mediums, from photography and painting to sculpture and commissioned work. We look for artists whose work and values align with those of your organization.
Every project is different. You set the budget, and we work within it. We provide costs upfront and get your approval before any artwork is purchased.
