To you, a law firm art gallery may sound like a nice idea for a firm with a handsome budget and a fine palate for the bourgeois – in other words, some other firm. Au contraire, dear populist! Small to mid-size firms with a humbler sensibility and smaller offices can, and maybe should also partake in the fine art world.

Here are a few reasons why your firm needs an art gallery:

For law firms interested in starting collections, do your (fun) due diligence. Research the art yourself – online or at galleries, hire an art consultant, or both. If you need to brush up on your art knowledge, read the arts section of the newspaper, visit art galleries and sign up for printing house newsletters.

“You can create a great collection with limited means if you know what you’re doing,” says Terry Moritz, a principal at Goldberg Kohn.

Be open-minded, go with your gut and above all, have fun with it.
