Who We Are

Jody Rassell established Fine Arts Services LLC in 2006. As an independent specialist with over 35 years in the field of public and fine art, she brings her experienced guidance to managing public art programs for mixed-use developments, waterfronts, municipal, health-care, university, foundation and corporate campuses.

Fine Arts Services delivers a focus and commitment integral to the project team, and whose work in close coordination with clients, designers, artists and construction professionals has successfully created engaging public art in common urban spaces. Recognizing the relevant conditions and opportunities to build consensus and vision among a client, project team and public stakeholders requires a combination of experience, leadership, passion and sensitivity to diverse ideas and objectives.  Combining urban design and business with percent-for-art objectives on a local, national and global scale, Jody Rassell’s arts management approach encompasses this guidance and supervision from the initiation in planning through completion of public art programming.   

A member of the Association of Professional Art Advisors, Ms. Rassell has participated internationally on panels and symposia throughout the United States and Japan. She holds advanced degrees in Museum Studies and Art History from California State University and Non-Profit Fundraising from the University of California, Los Angeles.
