Firm Profile

Parade is an art advisory partner to developers, owners, and design teams. We deliver complete and distinctive art projects for the built environment.

Based in the Pacific Northwest and working across the United States, we lead art programs from initial strategy through final installation. Our role sits at the intersection of art, design, and execution: understanding the vision for a project, identifying the right creative opportunities, bringing exceptional artists to the table, and managing the many decisions and details required to deliver the work successfully.

At once eclectic and cohesive, our projects are celebrated for their ability to connect geography, culture, creativity, and community. Each collection is developed in response to the unique character of its site - its architecture, history, and people - resulting in artwork that feels both intentional and alive.

Our approach is defined by care, curiosity, taste, and follow-through.

Care means understanding the goals and constraints of the project and treating our clients, artists, and partners with fairness and respect.

Curiosity means asking the questions that lead beyond the obvious solution - looking closely at place, architecture, audience, and context to find opportunities that make each project distinct.

Taste means exercising judgment. We bring a clear point of view, a deep knowledge of artists and materials, and a high bar for what ultimately makes it into a collection.

Follow-through means making it real. With more than six decades of combined experience, our team manages budgeting, commissioning, fabrication, framing, logistics, installation, and communication with the same level of attention we bring to the creative concept.

The result is art that feels integral to the project. We strengthen the design vision, champion artists, and deliver compelling collections that transform spaces into places.
