Bring artwork into the same conversation as your furniture. COI works with Great American Art to turn your floor plan, finishes and project goals into a curated artwork package. Design support, production and installation are coordinated around your space.
Based in Hooksett, New Hampshire. Serving New Hampshire and Massachusetts, including Greater Boston, with support for qualified projects in other locations.
The offer: No upfront Great American Art consulting or design fees. You review the selections and approve the artwork and its costs before anything is ordered. Artwork, shipping and installation are priced in the proposal.
Artwork planning pulls image selection, placement, sizes, materials, framing and installation into one process. When COI is already building your furniture layout and design direction, we can hand that plan straight to GAA's art specialists.
We make the introduction and hand GAA the furniture layouts, finish direction and project timing. The artwork proposal and schedule stay connected to the rest of your furniture project.
Their team researches and curates the artwork, recommends locations and materials, builds the presentation, and coordinates production and installation within the approved scope.
You share goals, budget and preferences, review the recommendations and approve the final selections. Your interior designer can stay involved the whole way through.
Artwork can also be a standalone refresh for an office you already occupy. A furniture purchase is not required.
Five steps. Not every project receives every output, and the schedule is set per project rather than against one fixed turnaround.
Send a floor plan or tell us which spaces need attention. Photographs, furniture selections, mood boards, a budget and a target date all help set the direction.
Useful output · Project brief for GAA
GAA reviews the space and recommends artwork placement, scale and material options. We check the artwork plan against the furniture layout and confirm which rooms come first.
Useful output · Placement and material direction
Look at the proposed imagery and finishes, say what you like, and ask for adjustments. GAA does the research. Your team makes the selections.
Useful output · Shared artwork presentation
Confirm the artwork, quantities, sizes, materials and the shipping and installation scope. If the package needs to come down to a number, we can talk through alternatives.
Useful output · Artwork proposal
GAA produces the approved artwork and can arrange installation. COI stays involved so artwork timing lines up with furniture delivery, project phasing and site readiness.
Useful output · Installation schedule
Depending on the project, the presentation can include:
You see what is proposed and where it goes before authorizing an order.
Framed prints are the starting point, not the whole list.
Imagery, size and framing coordinated with reception, offices, meeting rooms and corridors.
Different finishes and presentation styles, chosen for the location and the cleaning it will get.
Artwork printed on sound-absorbing panels where acoustic treatment is already part of the room.
Larger applications and branded imagery for walls, glazing and ceilings, when framed art is not the answer.
Regional photography, local artists, custom commissions, or imagery tied to your own history.
One approved direction that carries into additional sites, with room for local differences.
Material, hardware and mounting requirements are reviewed for each project. COI and GAA do not describe a substrate as unbreakable, anti-ligature or soundproof without product-specific evidence and a facility review.
The selection process starts with the people using each space and what the room is for.
Client-facing rooms, brand identity and employee spaces, consistent across offices.
Patient-facing areas and staff spaces, with cleaning and mounting requirements reviewed for the setting.
Atmosphere, materials and mounting reviewed with the facility team for that specific unit.
Familiar subjects and local connections, handled differently across independent living, assisted living and memory care.
School identity and learning themes, for administrative areas, corridors and shared spaces.
Public service, regional history and archival imagery, on a purchasing route that fits the agency.
Lobbies, lounges and gathering areas, matched to the character of the property.
These Great American Art examples show different approaches to placement, scale, imagery and materials. We can work out a direction suited to your own space, furniture and budget.

Great American Art began in 1979 as a Boston framing shop and now builds artwork programs for organizations nationwide. Its team covers art curation, graphic design, custom production and installation coordination, including relationships with local artists and photographers.
GAA is an EDAC Advocate Firm, and its team includes EDAC-certified designers. EDAC stands for Evidence-Based Design Accreditation and Certification. Their approach uses research and an understanding of the people in a space to inform artwork choices, particularly in healthcare settings. The accreditation describes GAA's organization and its certified staff. It is not a COI credential and not a promise of a clinical result.
For COI clients, that puts specialist artwork support inside the same process as furniture planning. Our mission is to simplify the furniture buying process. With GAA, we are making artwork simple again.

Cost depends on the images, quantities, sizes, materials, framing, custom work and installation requirements. The approved proposal identifies all of it, and product orders follow that proposal's payment terms.
Start with a budget, or with the rooms you want to address, and we will help set the priorities.
Tell us when the space needs to be ready. Design review, approvals, production, shipping and installation all affect the timing, so the schedule is built for your project rather than quoted from a standard lead time.
On a larger office fit-out, that can mean releasing artwork by area or phase. In an occupied office it is usually one focused installation.
Eligible government buyers can look at GAA's GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract, held by The Great American Picture Company, Inc., 47QSMS15D0002. COI can work with GAA and your procurement team to confirm eligibility, covered products and ordering requirements. COI does not hold this contract.
No. GAA's designers curate the selections from your project information. You review the recommendations, give feedback and approve the final artwork. The research is their job. The decision is yours.
Yes. Your designer can hand over mood boards, finishes, imagery preferences and the intended direction. GAA supports the artwork selection while COI connects it to the furniture plan.
Start with photographs and a description of the spaces. We will tell you which dimensions or additional information are needed before recommendations can be developed.
Yes. A focused refresh, a full fit-out and additional locations are all workable. A furniture purchase is not required. Installation arrangements depend on the scope and the location.
Yes. GAA can look at local artists, regional imagery and custom photography. For images you supply, their team reviews suitability, file quality and usage rights before anything is produced.
Have a furniture project underway, a new location to furnish, or a few spaces that need attention? COI will connect the layout, the design direction and GAA's artwork support. A floor plan is helpful, but it is not required to start the conversation.
