At Project Mei, we specialise in developing and implementing tailor-made studio systems that go beyond traditional management. Our mission is to empower artists by providing comprehensive solutions to streamline studio operations, ensuring they can immerse themselves fully in the art-making process.
Currently, we proudly manage the studios of Natisa Jones (Amsterdam/ Bali), Kanoko Takaya (Bali), Roby Dwi Antono (Jogjakarta), and Michael Armitage (Bali). With a keen focus on understanding the unique needs of each artist, we actively identify challenges and implement strategic solutions, covering everything from administrative tasks to logistics and communication with galleries.
Our services go beyond the scope of studio management, including artist advisory. We also undertake independent commercial projects tailored for residential and hospitality clients; where we conceptualise, and facilitate the production of one of a kind custom artwork. Striving for a seamless and fulfilling artistic experience for both artists and clients.
Transcending the conventional role of a mere management company; we are catalysts for creative expression, committed to establishing unparalleled standards within the art industry.
