Everything we do starts with you. The foundation for an Art Smart tour is your interests, curiosity, and passions. Our aim is to create an unforgettable experience based on the personal interests you share with us.

We operate on your schedule. When do you want to meet us?

We have the right team. Our guides are graduate-level art historians from some of the finest universities. They are up on the latest research and trends, but equally important, they are personable, charming, and eager to share their love of art with others. >>

Our art experiences are engaging and personal. We've developed a unique style that draws you into a focused conversation about the art. You will walk away having asked more questions, made more connections, and gained a deeper understanding of the art than you could have on any traditional tour.

We’re versatile and unbiased. Because we work with so many New York City art collections, we can connect your curiosity about any art work or period to additional resources both in the city and beyond it. Along the way, you’ll get the bigger picture of art history and the broader art world, all tuned to your individual interests.

We lead you to the hidden gems. We don’t limit you to the highlights of any collection. We’ll take you to the not-so-famous, yet stellar, works we know will resonate with you.

Efficiency. No more following the crowds, waiting in line, or getting lost. With Art Smart leading the way, you can spend that time exploring instead.

Quick and easy access to the museum. Our relationships with museums allow us to handle ticketing in advance, be it for general admission or special exhibitions.

An experienced approach to the gallery world
We know the art scene and gallery world can be a bit overwhelming. We’ll help you find your way to the most interesting art in a personal and service-minded manner. >>

We can go beyond the tour. For select clients, we can provide gallery shopping and art acquisition assistance via Art Smart Advisory >. We also can connect you with art treasures abroad through Art Smart Travels >.

How It Works: Select a collection for your private tour, or ask for our suggestions. Give us a call at 212-595-4444, or send us an e-mail >, and we'll schedule an appointment at your convenience. At any step of the process, please let us know how we can customize the tour to the interests of you and yours.
