krause co. is a New York-based communications strategy and advisory firm for international arts, culture, design, and lifestyle clients. Expertise includes museums, galleries, cultural galas, art fairs, artist estates, cultural foundations, private collections, luxury brands’ arts and culture initiatives, and more. Projects range from comprehensive institutional counsel to concentrated press campaigns for individual exhibitions, launches, and events. With an overarching passion for strategic positioning, additional applied specialties are creative partnership facilitation; CSR / social impact; DEI alignment; and crisis communications.

With a small, selective, and carefully curated client roster, krause co. works with galleries including Marianne Boesky Gallery; David Nolan Gallery; and Lévy Gorvy Dayan, and arts nonprofits including the Rema Hort Mann Foundation and the Emily Mason | Alice Trumbull Mason Foundation. Alongside exhibitions and institutional campaigns for international names — like the launch of Sotheby’s Social Impact program and Fotografiska’s global expansion into the world’s largest privately held art museum — one of krause co.’s proudest successes is garnering a community-beloved art museum in Southern Vermont, the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, the well-earned visibility of inclusion in four separate New York Times articles in an 11-month span. krause co.’s work also includes The Armory Show and Josh Baer’s authoritative art-world platform The Baer Faxt.
