Commercial Building Art Work

The Distelheim Gallery™ also specializes in creating emotionally resonant, visually striking artwork for commercial environments seeking to elevate their spaces with meaning, legacy, and sophistication. Drawing from a unique archive of abstract, mid-century, and contemporary works—including the celebrated Distelheim Collection and the original work of co-founder Jefferey Cornett, the Gallery offers custom art solutions that align with the aesthetic, mission, and brand identity of commercial clients.

We partner with commercial real estate developers, property managers, interior architects, and hospitality brands to provide:

• Unique Original Art Installations for lobbies, lounges, conference rooms, and public areas

• Rotating Exhibitions that keep spaces fresh, encourage repeat visitors, and support cultural engagement

• Permanent Collection Placements to enhance property value and distinguish brand character

• Leased Art Programs that offer flexibility and cost-efficiency for evolving spaces

• Story-Driven Commissions that tell a deeper story of place, history, and purpose

With deep roots in Chicago’s original Oak Street gallery district and a passion for meaningful visual storytelling, The Distelheim Gallery™ brings more than just art—we bring narrative, heritage, and human connection to commercial spaces.

• How We Develop Our Collections

Reviving and Recontextualizing Legacy Works

• We preserve and reintroduce select pieces from the original Distelheim Collection, enriching them with new context, scholarship, and interpretation.

• Commissioning New Works

  Through collaboration with emerging and established artists, The Gallery commissions contemporary pieces that speak to today’s social, emotional, and aesthetic currents.

• Thematic Curations

• Collections are built around powerful themes—such as resilience through illness, art and memory, or abstract expression as protest—inviting layered engagement from collectors and institutions.

• Cultural and Institutional Collaborations

  We welcome joint curation and exhibition partnerships with museums, academic institutions, and private archives to further expand the conversation around art and legacy.

Opportunities to Participate:

• Collectors & Patrons
  Gain early access to new works, limited editions, and private previews. Patron-level supporters can directly sponsor new commissions or traveling exhibitions.

• Legacy Contributors. Families, collectors, or estates interested in preserving or revitalizing overlooked work that aligns with our curatorial focus may propose submissions to be included in new collections.

• Corporate & Institutional Partners . Partner on exclusive installations, co-branded gallery series, or traveling exhibits that align with your mission and audience.
