ARTFULLY SOURCED. BOLDLY SHOWN.
We are A Bold Collab.
A Pop-Up Gallery Concept with a Collected Point of View
A Bold Collab is a pop-up gallery where art and design intersect—created to inspire confident choices and a more personal way of collecting art. Each ever-evolving installation combines original contemporary works from local and national artists with storied vintage pieces, curated to feel collected over time rather than simply styled. Beyond the gallery, A Bold Collab offers residential and commercial curation, helping clients integrate art into their spaces in a way that feels natural, intentional, and lived-in. Whether through a temporary exhibition or a permanent collection, the approach remains the same: artfully sourced, boldly shown, and deeply connected to how you live and work.
A Bold Collab is a creative partnership between interior designer Andrea Brooks and artist-curator Claire Pongonis.
Through A Bold Collab, Andrea and Claire offer art sourcing, curation, and custom commissions. Together, they help designers and private clients integrate original artwork in a way that feels intentional, cohesive, and deeply connected to the space.

Services for Businesses
In a commercial space, art does more than complete the design—it sets the tone, tells a story, and shapes how people experience the environment.
This service is designed for interior designers, hospitality spaces, and work environments that want something more considered than off-the-shelf solutions. Together, we define the overall direction, then curate artwork that supports the brand, the architecture, and the feeling you want to create.
We work with a network of artists, galleries, and vintage sources to bring together a mix that feels layered and distinctive—often blending original works with unexpected pieces to create a space that feels both elevated and approachable.
From initial concept through placement, we ensure the collection feels cohesive, intentional, and aligned with the identity of the space.
Because when it’s done well, art doesn’t just sit in a room—it becomes part of how people remember it.
Services for Homeowners
Art has a way of changing everything—it brings depth, personality, and a sense of story into a home.
This service is about helping you build a collection that feels personal and intentional, not rushed or overly curated. We begin by understanding your space, your style, and what you’re drawn to—then layer in pieces over time that reflect you and how you live.
Through a mix of contemporary works, vintage finds, and pieces sourced from artists both locally and beyond, we create a collection that feels collected, not decorated.
Along the way, we guide placement, scale, and how each piece relates to the room as a whole—so the art doesn’t just fill a wall, but becomes part of the way the space lives and feels.
This is not about getting it all at once. It’s about building something meaningful, one piece at a time.

Collaborate with Us
A Bold Collab was created as a way to bring art and design into new spaces—unexpected, layered, and meant to be experienced.
We partner with businesses, brands, and property owners to create pop-up gallery experiences that feel immersive, thoughtful, and distinctly different. Each collaboration is tailored to the space, blending contemporary art, vintage pieces, and collected details to create something that feels both curated and alive.
If you have a space and are interested in hosting a future pop-up or creative event, we’d love to hear from you.
