About Us
At agenci, we bring art to the world by connecting creators with
businesses, so they can both succeed. We help three distinct groups:
1. Artists who want to make a living with their work;
2. Professionals working in the built environment, such as developers,
architects, and interior designers who need artwork for placemaking and
other projects.
3. Businesses looking for innovative ways to develop their teams.

Our Mission
agenci’s mission is to empower artists to make a living from their
work.
We aim to do this by providing support in producing their projects,
finding connections to commissioners and platforms to showcase
their work.
We believe that the arts are warp & weft of society and the role
artists play is vital. Whether it be culture led regeneration, arts
based education or cultural activities that aid physical or mental
well being. Artists act as secret agents of change, infiltrating the
national health service, the criminal justice system, education,
science, technology and business, prisons and detention centres.

exceptionally dull place. To that end artists’ skills and talents
should be well remunerated and their job seen as ‘proper’.

HOW IT WORKS
THE FIND
We help you develop a brief that
will ensure artists know exactly
what you’re looking for. Then, we
go into the community, meeting
with local arts groups, touring
graduate art shows, and
connecting with our vast network
of contacts. We talk with
established, award-winning artists
and fresh, up-and-coming names
to find inspired pitches that fulfill
the brief.
While we’re busy searching for the
best artists to serve your project,
you’re free to focus on the million
other things calling for your time,
while feeling assured that this
aspect is in safe hands.
