As design and construction industry professionals know, if a solution does not exist, we create one. Jill Lehman, founder of High Frequency Arts, is a seasoned human resources executive and consultant. She realized that something was missing from HR strategy and workplace ecosystems. Art.
“My passion is art – and what art can do for people and organizations,” Jill says. From sparking creativity and energy to inviting calm and collaboration, art has a powerful impact on prospective and current employees, as well as other stakeholders. But she adds, “I struggled to find a firm that considered art as a people strategy.”
So she created one.
High Frequency Arts (HFA), born in 2017, is dedicated to “Creating meaningful experiences that engage people and enhance environments using visual arts and creative displays.” Jill explains that “Aesthetic and design is just one piece; a deeper piece is what art can create for and in us.” HFA brings together artists, artworks, and stories to help individuals and organizations create spaces that work, that align with their identities and goals, and that cure blank walls and uninspired mass-produced decor.
ART CONSUMERS VS. ART COLLECTORS
Jill is careful to differentiate between art consumers and art collectors. Here’s why: art collection can be… intimidating. It can be expensive. It can be another world, in many ways. From a consumer standpoint, though, art is accessible, it’s approachable, and we can all benefit from the stories it tells. HFA believes in art at all price points.
Now, what can HFA do for individuals and businesses? Jill calls it “one-stop for art and related services,” including:
+ CONSULTATION
+ DESIGN PROJECTS
+ CUSTOM COMMISSIONS
+ ARTWORK SALES
+ ARTWORK SOURCING
+ INSTALLATION
+ DESIGNER SHOWROOM, HOME INTERIORS BOUTIQUE, AND FINE ART GALLERY
HFA works with homeowners, collectors, designers, and corporate buyers, while sourcing and nurturing an extensive network of local, regional, and national artists. Increasing exposure for artists is paramount for Jill and her team, as is bringing their work to art consumers.
THE PERFECT PARTNERSHIP
Jill says that HFA and Hub & Spoke is a perfect partnership. Hub & Spoke is “not only a community design center; they have a mission around makers and creators and a focus on STEAM.” As opposed to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), STEAM recognizes the importance of the arts. “Hub & Spoke has “a deep connection to and understanding of the value of the arts.”
