  291 Agency is a visual artist agency formed by experienced art world professionals who have historically worked in traditional systems.

We provide tailor-made resources — strategy, consulting, project support, brand collaborations, museum relations, and more — to help artists embark upon and succeed in their independent ventures. As strategic partners, open collaborators, and driven facilitators, we labor in the background to bring their vision to life. 291 Agency continues to grow with a respect for the traditional, an eye on the future, and a focus, always, on the artist.
