Local Language

We're #hiring a new Senior Art Consultant in Oakland, California. This is a leadership position - Hospitality, Corporate, Healthcare Art Consultants we are looking for you! We offer remote flexibility 3 days remote / 2 days in our creative studio...

As an art consultant, it always starts with a story - one that the art collection further defines and amplifies... Amira Baba from Summa International approached us with an opportunity to be a part of The Jay, Autograph Collection, a property just across the Bay Bridge from our studio - a Marriott converting from a Le Meridien into an Autograph Collection. She connected us with the amazing Sergio Mondragon from AvroKO, who told us a story about the brutalist architecture by John Portman and the late San Francisco-based artist Ruth Asawa. The passionate and personally invested owner Dane Patunoff, gave context and elaborated on their aspiration for a uniquely local hotel experience. Thank you for the opportunity for Local Language to help tell The Jay’s story! The other night's tour hosted by NEWH, Inc, and led by Sergio Mondragon and Todd Statz, was an inspirational and insightful experience for everyone in attendance. It was great to reconnect with our local hospitality community including Kiko Macharg Singh, Sara Kenworthy EDG Interior Architecture + Design, Greg Bradshaw AvroKO, Christina Pun BAMO, Erin Kennedy, Barb Fritz and so many others. Laura S., Paige Bolting, Stephanie Bunnell and Jordan Bunnell were (thrilled/thankful) to receive an in depth look into how it all came together!

We are thrilled to share that Local Language has been honored with a spot on the 2024 Inc. Magazine list of the fastest-growing private companies in America! This recognition wouldn't be possible without the outrageously hard work from our #oakland team, a community of talented artists around the world too numerous to count, and so so many amazing client collaborators Looney & Associates + HBA/Hirsch Bedner Associates + MURPHY CRAMER DESIGN + MONOGRAM at BBGM + EDG Interior Architecture + Design + waldrop+nichols studio, llc + AvroKO. "We are deeply honored to be recognized as a top-growing company," said Jordan Bunnell, CEO of Local Language. "Finding a space within commercial properties to bring artwork into the world has allowed us to sustain creativity and uplift our community. This recognition validates our mission to delight clients with exceptional art while creating lasting opportunities for artists to thrive." We have been lucky to work with prestigious hospitality brands Omni Hotels & Resorts + Sonesta Hotels + Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts + @Marriott International + Hilton Hotels & Resorts + Hyatt Hotels Corporation. And none of this could happen without rockstar procurement partners making it all happen The Carroll Adams Group + Benjamin West + Summa International + Pineapple Procurement + Bray Whaler. There are 6.1 million privately held businesses in the U.S. that qualify to be considered for Inc.’s fastest-growing annual list. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. With this recognition, Local Language joins a list that has recognized companies like Patagonia, Microsoft, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Meta, household-name brands that gained their first national exposure as Inc. honorees. 2024 has been a wild and wonderful ride thus far and we are only in August, looking ahead to more amazing in the coming months! https://lnkd.in/gn3djaSj

This was a fun project to be a part of to celebrate Earth Month! GROW, a site-specific temporary art installation by Brian Singer & Laura Hapka In celebration of the 35th Goldman Environmental Prize (www.goldmanprize.org) The installation consists of a grid of 8 trees, with each tree wrapped in letters constructed out of living moss. Following the installation, the trees incorporated in this piece will be gifted to the Friends of the Urban Forest to plant within the city of San Francisco. Created in partnership with Demonstrate x DDW, Local Language, Proxy, and Friends of the Urban Forest

We are honored to have partnered with AvroKO at The Jay Hotel in our hometown across the bay, San Francisco. Referencing the historic building's brutalist mid-century architecture, the art collection features a variety of media - paper, wood, resin and fabric. Dimensional artwork collages, textiles, and prints were designed for 350+ guest rooms, while large-scale sculptures for the public areas were fabricated both by Local Language and local bay-area artists. https://lnkd.in/gJVHcd5Q
