The Art Boost: Motivate and Inspire with Art in the Office
Research shows how art can benefit the workplace
Office spaces aren’t known for being aesthetically pleasing or calming. Think of the beige walls, the drop ceiling peppered with panels of fluorescent lighting, the drab carpet, and the cubicles. Now imagine having to spend up to 40 plus hours there per week. We deserve better, and research backs this up. After all, who said it had to be this way?

We think the office is a prime space for transformation with the incorporation of Good Art. We even wrote about it in our most recent issue of The Journal. Though workers can personalize their cubicles, The Art Supply Co. thinks that having art throughout the office can elevate the starkness of a corporate environment. Having a motivating workplace is important for keeping everything functional, enjoyable, and peaceful. Displaying art is a great way to make a space feel more alive, generating inspiration, reflection, and pride among staff, leading to a boost in productivity and morale.
Workplace culture and community can be improved by having Good Art throughout your space. By choosing to invest in art, you are:
Welcoming varied backgrounds and perspectives by showcasing a range of artists and art works
Demonstrating commitment to community engagement through partnerships with local artists and cultural institutions

After moving into a new multi-use corporate space in a renovated building, the client was looking to build a fresh collection of artworks that fit with their work and company culture. The Art Supply Co. selected pieces that captured the colors and stylistic spirit desired by the client to energize the space. Working closely with the client, we created a professional and engaging environment across offices, conference rooms, and entertainment spaces for employees and guests alike.
