FAQ
Straight answers on leasing, commissions, collections, artwork protection, and how a project typically runs.
Xochi Corporate helps organisations introduce exceptional contemporary art into professional environments through leasing, curated collections, and bespoke commissions. We manage the process from artist selection and visualisation through installation and artwork care.
Leasing — significant original artworks through a structured monthly programme. Commissions — bespoke work created for your brief. Collections — curated groups of works by a single artist, ready to install, lease, or adapt.
Companies, professional practices, developers, hospitality groups, healthcare environments, and public or civic organisations that want original contemporary art in professional interiors.
Share your space, timeline, and whether you lean toward leasing, a commission, a collection, or a mix. We respond with a clear next step — often a shortlist, visualisation, or structured proposal.
Yes. Use our visualisation tool: upload a photo, mark the wall corners, set dimensions, and place artwork — or ask us to prepare mockups for internal approval.
No. An enquiry starts a conversation. Structured proposals come after briefing; there is no obligation until you choose to proceed.
Leasing allows your organisation to access significant original artwork through predictable monthly payments, without making a large upfront purchase. It provides flexibility to refresh your environment over time while preserving capital for other business priorities.
Ownership remains with the artist or current owner throughout the lease term. Your organisation receives the agreed rights to display the artwork at the specified location.
At the end of the term, you can return, renew, exchange, or discuss a separate purchase option. End-of-term choices are agreed when you are ready.
If you decide you would like to own a leased artwork, purchase can be discussed separately. Leasing and purchase remain separate agreements, giving your organisation flexibility.
Yes. Organisations can lease multiple artworks across offices, buildings, or locations under a coordinated programme with consolidated billing.
Art leasing can support a wide range of environments, including offices, boardrooms, reception areas, hotels, restaurants, healthcare spaces, and public-facing commercial interiors.
Bespoke artwork created specifically for your environment — from a single statement piece to a complete building programme. From brief to installation, Xochi manages the entire process.
No. Commissioning is available for focused single spaces as well as building-wide programmes. We make the process accessible and professionally managed — not reserved for museums or private collectors.
We select artists whose practice aligns with your project. You review credentials and concepts before anything is commissioned. Where required, we source additional artists to match the brief.
Most commissions need roughly 8–20 weeks once the brief is clear, depending on scale, production, and site access. The timeline is confirmed in your proposal.
Yes. We routinely collaborate with design teams on concept, scale, materials, lighting, and sign-off documentation.
An artist-led selection of complementary works designed for professional environments — ready to install, lease, or tailor to your project.
Yes. Scale, combination, and placement can be tailored — from a single focal work to a multi-space programme.
Yes. Collections can be structured as leases with the same monthly rhythm, artwork protection, and install support as individual works.
Current collections include series by Sandra Jane Heard, Roger Remaut, and Karen Jordan. Browse the collections page for detail.
Yes. Xochi coordinates professional artwork protection throughout the lease period, including specialist handling, transport, installation, condition reporting, and display. Full insurance details are provided as part of the lease agreement.
Specialist fine-art insurance during transport and installation, condition reporting before installation and after removal, and professional handling and documentation managed by Xochi.
For purchased artwork, we ensure professional delivery and installation. Ongoing insurance arrangements can be discussed according to your organisation’s requirements.
Yes. Condition documentation is prepared before installation and after removal so facilities and risk teams have a clear record.
Many organisations lease equipment, vehicles, and technology to preserve capital and manage cash flow. Art leasing follows the same principle: structured monthly payments rather than a large upfront purchase. Under Portuguese accounting and tax rules, properly structured operating leases may allow lease payments to be treated as business expenses rather than a capital purchase. Exact treatment depends on your circumstances and agreement terms — confirm with your advisor.
Buying is a larger upfront investment that typically ties capital into the artwork. Leasing offers predictable monthly costs, preserves capital for other priorities, and allows you to refresh artworks over time.
Yes. We provide lease schedules, artwork valuations, and contractual details suitable for finance, procurement, and auditor review.
No. Our finance notes are general information only. Confirm treatment with your finance team or professional advisor before entering a lease.
Xochi coordinates professional packing, transport, installation, site coordination, and handover documentation for your facilities team.
Simply let us know in advance. We can coordinate the safe removal, storage, and reinstallation of artwork as your space changes.
Yes. Multi-space and multi-site programmes are common. We plan sequencing with facilities so disruption stays minimal.
A carefully selected group of artists with recognised exhibition histories, institutional collections, and practices that bring distinction to professional environments.
Yes. Artist profiles, credentials, and relevant works are part of shortlisting — especially for commissions and flagship placements.
Works come with appropriate documentation for corporate stakeholders. Where institutional credentials matter to your brief, we surface them clearly.
