Distinctive Art Source is a turnkey art consultancy working exclusively in healthcare with a foundation in evidence- and patient-based design. We believe thoughtfully developed art programs contribute to an integrated visual experience and foster mutually-beneficial community relationships. Our national artist database connects clients with unlimited sources nationwide to enable hospitals to conceptualize, visualize and realize the goals of their art programs.
Established in 2003, Distinctive Art Source has served a pivotal role in creating evidence- and patient-based art programs in millions of square feet of healthcare space. We are honored to work closely with some of the nation’s most renowned healthcare architects, designers and artists, blending seamlessly into existing architectural processes to keep projects on time and within budget.
