DVV is breaking traditional gallery and art world roles. Our services include, art advising, collections management, and artist consulting. Within those, we host exhibitions, strategically place artwork, collaborate with arts organizations to host tours, and bridge the gap between the art world, museums, and nonprofits.
Our team at DVV is currently woman-run and Gen-Z owned, energetically focused on creating models for the next generation of the artworld. We are all experts in our field with wide ranging knowledge of museums, nonprofits, anthropology, and the humanities at large.
We have offices that are primarily based in New York City, however, we have satellites in Atlanta, Syracuse, and San Francisco. We work on projects in small and large cities, domestically and internationally.

TESTIMONIALS
I met Devon at Art Basel through a colleague. Having very little knowledge of the art world, she was so willing to provide knowledge and insight of not only the exhibits we visited but of current trends and future outlook as well. It has been an incredible and fun experience learning from her. With their guidance, I’ve been able to better develop my preferences in art. She’s done a great job at curating exceptional pieces tailored to my interests and I would recommend their services to anyone.
