Hey YOU! Did you know that we offer climate controlled and non-climate storage for your artworks???? Get in touch if your studio is overflowing 🚛

Times are changing - chatbots have replaced customer service and algorithms shape our lives in new ways everyday. At Solid we’ve always put people first, and that’s something that will never change. We’re brick and mortar. We’re artist owned and operated. We provide tangible services you can count on. And that’s the way we like it. If you’re looking for a real one, pick up the phone, we’re here to help.

The art fairs are coming! 😱 If you are in need of install, delivery, packing, storage, shipping, crating and/or pedestal fabrication - get in touch 🌞🫀

Los Angeles friends, artists, curators, producers, and people who make temporary magic… Hi, I’m Joe McKee. I’m one of the people behind Solid Art Services and YEAH! Rentals. There are a lot of art fairs, pop-ups, shows, and temporary exhibitions coming up across Los Angeles soon. Some of you we’re already working with. Some of you we’ve worked with before. And some of you we haven’t met yet… but we probably have mutual friends. The reason these two companies exist, and why they work so closely together, is pretty simple. Art deserves to be handled with care, and the environment around it should feel just as intentional. At Solid, we take care of the artwork itself. How it arrives. How it’s installed. How it’s protected. At YEAH!, we take care of the space people experience the work in. Furniture, layout, pacing, places to sit, gather, pause, and actually spend time with the art. If you’re producing an art show, participating in @friezeofficial or @Felixartfair (or any other art fairs around that time), or creating an event… we’re here. If we’re already working together, thank you. If we haven’t yet, hello. I’d love to connect. Joe If this is for you, DM us. If this is for a friend, send it to them. If you prefer email, phone calls, smoke signals, or carrier pigeons, we’re flexible. And if none of this applies to you, thanks for reading anyway. The internet is a strange place, and it helps when we pass notes to each other.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the fracturing of society via the impending wave of AI that’s about to fall upon us. Zane and I have been chatting a lot about this and we worry and we laugh and we just generally pontificate on the topic until our heads hurt. We seem to be living in an increasingly inhumane world, where call centers are operated by robots, Spotify playlists are littered with AI music, and you can’t seem to speak to a human being when you are looking to have a simple question about your phone bill answered. I guess that’s why we are called SOLID Art Services. We like the real, we like the tangible, and we like the human. We want to work with people that feel the same way. Art is inherently tangible (I guess that’s why NFT’s didn’t really work out 🤡). We like the idea that we are a brick and mortar, service industry, serving an industry that is tangible and real. So if you wanna pick up the phone and call us and talk to a human being like me (Joe) or Zane or countless other wonderful humans who work for us, then please do so. We value those kind of relationships. Anyway, happy new year from SOLID 💜💟
