Wunderkammer of Services

The Dissolve Salon includes a full-service suite of offerings for creatives, makers, and arts-aligned institutions. Our services, described below, are personalized. Fees are dependent upon the project scope, key activities, and deliverables. We encourage projects which: (a) take on unconventional content/form; (b) blur institutions and their disciplinary modes of production, agendas, and philosophies; and/or (c) move along tangents and across disparate points of departure/arrival. If you are interested in working with us, please schedule a conversation through our contact form.
