A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before the first conversation.
What is Vigil Art House?
Vigil is a private commissioning house, not a conventional gallery or open marketplace. We create original works and complete art programs from the story and architecture of each space, then manage the work through installation.
When should Vigil Art House become involved?
As early as possible. The greatest creative and practical opportunity exists when art can be considered alongside architecture, lighting, wall conditions, structural needs, and construction sequencing. We also work with completed spaces.
Can Vigil collaborate with my interior designer or architect?
Yes. Vigil can work directly for the client or as a discreet art partner within an established design and project team. White-label and credited collaborations are available when appropriate.
Does Vigil Art House only create Ty Cole's artwork?
No. Depending on the project, Vigil may develop original work by Ty, commission another artist or maker, curate a relevant existing work, or combine these approaches. The story and space determine the right hand for the work.
Does Vigil only create dark art?
No. Vigil’s artistic language is informed by atmosphere, material, and story. A pale room may need shadow and gravity. A dark interior may need warmth or a lighter point of contrast. The architecture, your vision, and the story determine the final expression.
Do you work outside Colorado?
Yes. Vigil Art House is based in Denver and considers residential, hospitality, and commercial projects throughout the United States.
What investment should I expect?
Individual painting commissions begin at $2,500. Private Art Programs begin at $7,500, and Complete Residence Commissions begin at $20,000. Hospitality signature commissions begin at $5,000, with property art programs from $20,000 for an agreed set of spaces and works. Final pricing depends on size, complexity, number of works, and services. Custom framing, fabrication, delivery, installation, and any applicable tax are quoted separately unless expressly included. We agree on the complete scope and price before work begins.
How long does the process take?
Timing depends on scope, medium, artist availability, fabrication, and the site schedule. A Defining Work may require several months. Larger programs are coordinated with the broader design and construction timeline. Vigil establishes clear milestones before production begins.
Can I purchase available work online?
Vigil Art House is project-led and does not operate as a conventional online shop. Selected available works may be shared privately when relevant to a client or project.
Do you advise on art as an investment?
Vigil is not an art investment advisory. Our focus is creating and commissioning work with lasting artistic, personal, and spatial significance.
Do you provide framing, delivery, and installation?
Yes. Framing, fabrication, delivery, and professional installation can be managed as part of the complete Vigil Art House engagement.
What is the Vigil Record?
It is the private project record that accompanies qualifying defining commissions and complete property programs. It preserves the concept, artist and material details, selected process documentation, installation records, and care information. Film documentation can be included when appropriate.
