About

Curative Company

A production company and gallery that works two ways. We commission and build for brands, and we fabricate and represent for artists. The wall label always says who did what.

Two doors

Curative runs on two relationships. For brands, we bring an artist and their world to a client and produce the whole activation, from concept to the container it ships in. For artists, we sit behind the artist as the foundry: the IP stays yours, the client relationship stays yours, and we make the work real.

The two doors are not two companies. They are the same production capability pointed in opposite directions, which is why a single portfolio holds a ballpark commission, a cross-border plaza spectacle, and a permanent public installation.

Honest credit

Every case here states exactly what Curative did and did not do. When an artist owned the room, the credit says so. When Curative secured and produced the whole thing, it says that instead. The candor is not a disclaimer. It is the pitch: an artist with a blue-chip relationship does not have to hand over the client to get museum-grade fabrication, and a brand does not have to learn how to work with an artist to land a real one.

Since 2018

Curative Company has been producing since 2018. Bring us the vision. Keep the world you built. We will make it stand.

The team
Richard Vaughn
Richard Vaughn
Founder
Has never met a shipping container he couldn't talk his way into, or a border he couldn't close a deal across, usually in two languages before lunch.
Wally Vu
Wally Vu
Design & Logistics
Can tell whether a ten-foot bear clears the loading-dock door from across the warehouse, and holds genuinely strong opinions about pallet wrap.
Jonathan Vaughn
Jonathan Vaughn
Production Manager
If it has to be cast, plated, lit, and stand up in a plaza without falling over, it comes through Jonathan. Shares a surname with the founder; the family plot is need-to-know.
