The Benefits of Art at Work
The benefits of art at work are diverse. Studies have linked it to productivity, employee wellbeing and how positively a business is perceived. In the showroom, it can be a way to communicate your values to clients – presenting your business as a creative thinker, cultural custodian or connected to the local community.
Art in the office can serve another practical function – wayfinding. Workplaces can feel like a maze of desks, hallways and doors. Designed to be memorable, art punctuates this, offering impressive landmarks as people travel through the building.
At home, investing in art can also make you feel more put-together. Rather than folded laundry, make your Zoom background a feat of cultural innovation. If you’re grinding for that dream holiday stay motivated with art that’s a visual escape, a culturally significant dream board.
With benefits for your business, clients and self, art presents a wellspring of opportunity for the workplace. What do you want people to picture when they think of the work you do? What values do you want to make visible? What mindset do you want to curate?
