THE NOVO STORY
HISTORY
Novo Arts was established by Marlaina Deppe in New York City in 1975 with the mission of making fine art accessible to all. Over forty-five years later, our philosophy of "Art for Everyone" remains strongly intact. As a leading fine arts consultation and fabrication firm, we are always striving to push creative limits by inventing new visual art programs that respond to both current design trends and custom client identities and interests.
WELCOME TO THE NOVO ARTS WORLD- we are excited to have you here.
THE ART OF CREATIVE COLLABORATION
At Novo Arts, we have the unique ability to offer both a Fine Arts Curation Program, that sources art from the market, and an in-house Studio Production Program, that fabricates original custom fine art works. These two programs can be used exclusively or together, and this is one of the unique offerings that sets our firm apart from other visual consulting groups. Together, our office and studio teams work collaboratively with architects, designers and our clients to understand and connect our clients' visions with exceptional customized visual solutions.
Our Fine Arts Consultancy and Curation Program sources art from the external market for our clients. Our art curators and consultants collaborate with galleries, auctions, and local and international emerging and mid-level independent artists to source existing works that will fit your budget and enhance the designed space. Our intent is to communicate the value of art for any environment, synthesizing the interests of the business and fine art communities. Behind this consultancy and curation program, is a highly-skilled team of project managers and art administrators.
Our Studio Program was developed to offer original custom art at a fraction of typical market value. Designed for the client who wants to maximize a minimal budget, the program provides customized solutions to suit any taste and budget. Our studio team is composed of a group of professionally trained visuals artists: graphic designers, illustrators, painters, photographers, sculptors, carpenters, and art installers, all sharing the philosophy that dynamic collaboration and cross fertilization result in the most successful creations.
ART FOR EVERYONE
For over forty-five years, Novo Arts has provided creative services to more than 2,000 clients across hospitality, residential, corporate, and healthcare spaces worldwide. Based in New York City, we collaborate with clients both domestically and internationally, taking pride in understanding their cultures and enhancing environments with inspiring works that engage viewers and express each brand’s narrative. Active within the design, architectural, and real estate communities—including organizations such as AIA, CoreNet, IIDA, IFMA, NEWH, WPEO, and WBENC—we also extend our commitment to the nonprofit sector by donating art to women’s shelters, senior living communities, and supporting clients’ efforts to reposition their art assets for philanthropic purposes.
At Novo Arts, we believe art has the power to transform spaces and connect people across industries and cultures. Our enduring mission is to make meaningful, accessible, and visionary art a part of everyday life.
