​Spotlight curates rotating exhibitions at The Infinity, The Watermark and Vedder Price.  These exhibitions highlight artist works in longer solo exhibitions, often 3-4 months.  These exhibitions not only feature artists that we have curated in the gallery, but also spotlight our consulting capabilities.

Arc Fine Art Consulting is available to assist local businesses with similar rotating art exhibitions.  We are also available for permanent art consultation for both businesses and individual.
