As an artist, you’ve likely heard of legendary collector Adelaide Harcourt. She is a wordly, idiosyncratic grand dame brimming with sophistication. A seventh generation Savannaian who comes from a long line of financiers, and the sole living member of her family, she’s determined to gift the arts legacy of her family to the city of Savannah through sharing her collection of family heirlooms, travel mementos, and contemporary artwork with the recently-opened Perry Lane Hotel in Savannah.
A “Wander”ful Opportunity: Curating Gallery Style Collections for The Ramble Hotel
Every art curation program begins with a clear goal in mind and the recently-opened Ramble Hotel in Denver’s booming RiNo Art District was no exception. As the first hotel to open in the art-centric neighborhood, The Ramble was envisioned too appeal to a very specific type of traveler: those who like to wander or travel without a destination (i.e. to ramble), and experienced travelers who appreciate timeless elegance in a worldly and contemporary setting.
Designed With Artists in Mind
All the ways our new headquarters will help us better serve our artist community
As more and more people look to experience art as part of their daily life, the demand to bring art into public spaces outside of museum walls is growing. From city-wide placemaking initiatives to small professional services companies, clients are increasingly coming to NINE dot ARTS looking for ways to support the creative economy and artist community in order to enrich the experience of visitors and guests.
As we mark our ninth year of fostering connections between artists and communities, it was time to take a look at our operations to help ensure our growing team was positioned to do their best work and support more artists than ever before.
As a result of that effort, we decided to create a new headquarters, located at 3734 Osage St. in Denver’s Lower Highlands neighborhood, that would better support our people and especially our artist community. Read more

If you’ve been around the art block, chances are you’ve experienced your fair share of shady buyers, opaque interactions and general market inconsistencies. The art world: you could say it’s The Wild West of our time. At NINE dot ARTS, however, we believe not only in the power of art to change the world for the better but also in doing things the right way, which means holding ourselves, our clients and everyone we work with to the highest standards of integrity and transparency. And because we like efficiency and generally making life easier for as many people as possible, we’ve spent the better part of three-plus (emphasis on the plus) years developing a web-based app with the lovely lads of Cirro to be an online, one-stop shop, end-all-be-all art sales platform for our valued gallery and artist partners. Enter: dotfolio!
