Case Study: Kevin Barry Art Advisory streamlines artwork discovery and asset management with Canto

Creating a curated artist library – Kevin Barry Art Advisory keeps it searchable with Canto

Kevin Barry Art Advisory, a Santa Monica-based art advisory firm with offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas, needed a better way to manage its growing library of branded assets, project photos, and licensed artwork. Before Canto, content was difficult to track down across the organization, creating bottlenecks for marketing, art consultants, graphic designers, and sales teams. The company needed a simple digital asset management solution that would make content self-service and easy for new users to adopt.

With Canto DAM, Kevin Barry Art Advisory built a searchable, curated internal library using Portals and advanced metadata tagging to organize artwork, project photography, logos, style guides, and usage details. Canto helped support a smooth rebranding, improved cross-team adoption, and empowered staff to quickly find approved assets and create more relevant client materials. Eva Vieyra Osmand said the system saved her an “immeasurable” amount of time, and the company now uses Canto as its “one stop shop” for asset delivery.
