ArtHaus Fine Art Appraisals & Consulting focuses on a variety of services, including not only art appraisals and consulting but also collection management at the College Park Gallery.
Flynn Dobbs is the owner of ArtHaus Fine Art Appraisals & Consulting and the co-owner for the College Park Gallery, along with co-owner Jim Hobart.
College Park Gallery is also teamed up with Macbeth Studio, which does not only videography and photography but also the Life Legacy Project.
Dobbs grew up surrounded by art, as her parents were artists. According to her, what inspired her to start her business was wanting to help artists.
“The whole reason I went to school for art business is I really wanted to make a difference for artists and give them a leg up or be a liaison between a buyer or an organization and an artist,” Dobbs said.
The gallery is an event space and is offered to artists with different styles. According to Dobbs, the gallery offers 70% of the artists’ sales back to them.
“We just want to be a home, like a safe place for artists in the community,” Dobbs said.
Dobbs recently accepted a position as the public art coordinator for the City of Orlando. She will be in charge of the Orlando City Hall Terrace Gallery and the art inventory, as well as public work projects.
“It means everything,” Dobbs said. “It’s everything I’ve ever wanted.”
