Get to Know Us
ARTELUXE is an arts consulting studio dedicated to supporting artists and arts organizations through thoughtful collaboration, strategic development, and advocacy-driven practice. Rooted in Detroit, ARTELUXE connects creative vision with the resources, relationships, and systems needed for sustainable impact.
​
Founded by artist and arts administrator Maggie Piellusch, ARTELUXE was created in response to a clear need: artists and nonprofit arts organizations are often asked to do more with less, navigating complex funding landscapes while maintaining artistic integrity and community accountability. ARTELUXE exists to bridge that gap—offering practical expertise without losing sight of creativity, care, and purpose.
Fundraising for the Future
Our Approach
We believe the strongest arts ecosystems are built through partnership. ARTELUXE works alongside artists, curators, and organizations to curate meaningful art experiences, strengthen fundraising and development practices, and advocate for equitable treatment of artists as cultural workers. Our approach is collaborative, transparent, and grounded in respect for creative autonomy.
Rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, we tailor our work to each client’s mission, scale, and community. Whether coordinating event-based fundraising, supporting development strategy, or partnering to curate exhibitions and programs, we prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term wins.
