At VELVENOIR, we believe contemporary art is more than something you see, it’s something you experience. Art has the power to question, inspire, and connect. It shapes how we live, work, stay, and gather. Since 2014, this belief has driven us as an international art consultancy, curating collections that reflect identity and create dialogue across the world.

With an office in Salzburg and a team of advisors across Europe and beyond, we travel to where our clients are, whether that means working on site in a new development in Abu Dhabi, remotely supporting a private collector in New York, or developing bold cultural strategies for a luxury hotel in Zurich.

We collaborate with private collectors, hoteliers, interior designers, real estate developers, and healthcare and wellness clinics — partners who understand that art is an essential part of experience. From the first idea to long-term collection management, we handle every step with museum-level standards, cultural insight, and a holistic, cross-disciplinary approach.

For us, courage means taking the path less traveled. It means commissioning bold works, sourcing internationally, and introducing our clients to artists whose voices matter — from emerging names to blue-chip figures. Each project is unique, shaped by your vision, the architecture of the space, and the story that art is meant to tell.

Simply put: we don’t just curate collections. We create journeys. Journeys that connect people and places, tell stories across generations, and bring art into the everyday in ways that endure.

And now that you know who we are, we’d love to know more about you. What story do you want your space to tell?
