translation services for the international arts & culture sector
About Us
We are an international network of translators whose backgrounds have an emphasis in the arts. Not only do we possess many years’ experience in professional translation, we are a collective steeped in observing, analyzing, presenting, and creating visual art: we are trained art historians, art educators, and artists. The translation services we offer are broad in range, yet always seek to reach a meaningful depth.
From exhibition catalogues and wall texts to gallery guides and press communications, our focus is to create texts that preserve the meaning and voice of the source while facilitating understanding by target audiences. This mission was borne out of our team's shared experience—whether working in art education, as a curator, or in and around the gallery—of engaging with museum and gallery visitors. In the service of enlivening exhibitions by engendering connection and discourse, we came to appreciate that clarity of language is crucial in extracting and conveying the meaning of art.
