OBJECTS OF CONTEMPLATION
Art/artefact is an intimate exhibition space in the home of our founder that places art and antiques at the heart of a contemporary aesthetic. By bringing art out of the gallery and into a living environment, Art/artefact creates a conversation with objects to live and be inspired by through seasonal installations in collaboration with guest artists.

Audra
Art/artefact is a nationally recognized art advisory and interior design practice founded by Audra Kiewiet de Jonge and known for placing a great collection at the heart of every interior.
Formally trained as a painter and an art historian, Audra’s modern sensibility is informed by her historical perspective—bringing art and objects into context and conversation with the way we live today.
Published in Galerie, Veranda, and Frederic, among others, Audra’s work carries the hallmark of an eye attuned to the exceptional and unexpected with an approachability that feels fresh and unencumbered.
Working with private and corporate clients nationally, Art/artefact interiors are meticulously curated and expertly built to be high on artistry, but not on pretense, informed by her years of experience in the art and interiors worlds, including with Galería OMR in Mexico City, Kate Brodsky of KRB in New York, and Maja Smith of Found by Maja in San Francisco.
