Project-based work starting at $1,500

Ongoing support quoted individually

For private collectors, estates, family offices, designers, advisors, and corporate collections that need help organizing artwork records, locations, documentation, vendor communication, storage, installation logistics, or presentation materials.

Services may include artwork inventories, location lists, condition-photo organization, image files, insurance-support documentation, estate or collection intake, office move and renovation coordination, installation scheduling, vendor research, internal collection summaries, and collection-facing PDFs.

Standard logistics coordination starting at $500

Larger projects quoted individually

For galleries, collectors, advisors, designers, and artists who need help coordinating artwork movement, packing, installation, documentation, or vendor communication.

Services may include fine-art shipper research, handler scheduling, quote comparison, packing coordination, condition-photo organization, building-access coordination, installation planning, site coordination, and project follow-through.

Midsummer helps clients identify and coordinate the appropriate category of fine-art professional for each project, including museum- and gallery-standard art shippers, handlers, installers, packers, crate shops, storage providers, photographers, framers, and conservators.

This is especially useful for clients who are not sure whether a project requires a local art handler, a fine-art shipper, a specialist installer, custom packing or crating, climate-controlled storage, condition documentation, or conservation review.

Midsummer prioritizes experienced fine-art specialists rather than general movers or general contractors, with attention to the value, scale, fragility, timeline, access requirements, and insurance expectations of the artwork or collection.

Physical handling, packing, transport, and installation are performed by insured handlers, shippers, installers, or specialists unless separately arranged in writing.
