Sports & The Arts, founded in 1993, provides professional athletes and sports franchises with one of kind artworks, through projects including the celebration of player and team milestones, All-Star events and fundraising efforts. Commissioned lithographs, silent auction items and original portraits have contributed to our raising of over $2M for charitable causes. Our commissioned artwork has included both subjects and collectors such as Hank Aaron, Wayne Gretzky, Payton Manning, Mickey Mantle, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.
Artworks created by Sports & the Arts' talented team of artists are housed in collections and shown by organizations such as Converse Inc., Fox Sports/20th Century Fox, the Los Angeles Kings, STAPLES Center, The Philadelphia Flyers—and our current client—the Prudential Center, home to the New Jersey Devils in Newark, NJ, home to the worlds largest mural. Aside from being firmly entrenched in the NHL, Sports & The Arts currently produces works for the NFL, NBA & Major League Baseball. All projects incorporate the involvement of various charities, with clients such as Children's Cancer Research and the Alzheimer Research Foundation.
We represent several artists, including celebrated portrait artist Samantha Wendell, Andrew D. Bernstein, official photographer of the NBA, and contemporary fine artist/muralist Tom Mosser, among others.
