What we do

Beauty & Brawn produce works, conversations and events which offer a socio-psychological perspective and immersive experience to the viewer. Through art and experiential curation and collaboration, we showcase creators and performers whose philosophies examine, encourage and ultimately connect the emotional experience to human existence. Collectively, we see each project through from conceptualization to installation and focus on ventures that are often nonlinear in content, setting and/or scope.

Beauty & Brawn is defined by collaborative endeavors supporting creatives across all artistic disciplines, genres and career levels. We are also proud to facilitate public art projects that we feel are innovative and unique- those which perpetuate and contribute to the narratives about art accessibility and art in both urban and rural landscapes. 

We believe our carefully crafted approach lends itself to creating interesting and yet uncomplicated spaces and discussions where expression and energy can seamlessly come together. And through our exclusive partnerships we are the only team that can elevate our analog work with a cutting-edge digital component which further enhances meaningful interaction, knowledge and growth.
