Consulting

Comprehensive, White-Glove Services
Psionic Art Works provides consulting services in fine art acquisition, mural project management, archival preservation, and museum operations. We work with institutions, businesses, and private collectors to support a range of cultural and artistic initiatives. Each project is approached with professional care and respect for artistic integrity and historical significance.
Anthropological Approach to Modern Strategy
With an anthropologist leading the team, Psionic Art Works applies cultural insight to support clients in understanding their audiences, communities, and internal teams. This perspective informs work ranging from public art planning to cultural leadership training, ensuring projects are contextually aware and socially informed.

Public Art
At Psionic Art Works, we curate mural projects with a focus on cultural relevance, historical context, and—most importantly—the needs of your business. Each project is developed with a deep understanding of the space and its surrounding community to attract more business and new customers.
Murals are more than just decorative—they’re strategic investments in visibility, engagement, and identity. Thoughtfully executed public art can turn your location into a landmark, attract organic foot traffic, and enhance the emotional connection between your business and its audience. In many cases, allocating just a small portion of your development or renovation budget toward a mural can result in significant long-term value—both economically and culturally.
Our portfolio includes both contemporary and historically focused mural projects. Notably, Psionic Art Works curated the Spirit of Nevada mural by artist Gear Duran, which celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the state and serves as a powerful visual anchor for the community.
Each mural we oversee is designed to do more than beautify—it’s built to elevate your brand, draw attention to your business, and create a lasting impression that sets you apart. By turning your space into a visual destination, our murals increase foot traffic, enhance customer engagement, and reinforce your business identity in a way that’s authentic, memorable, and culturally resonant.
