Artmatters offers guidance to organizations on all aspects of art buying. For instance, Artmatters has been responsible for choosing Conoco's art collection at their UK marketing headquarters in Warwick and developing their art buying strategy.

Some 250 pieces of work including fine art, photography and applied arts by artists living in Britain and abroad were chosen by Artmatters. Conoco's art selection has been praised by regional and national arts councils for its adventurous spirit. The collection has been developed as a community resource and as a longer term cultural and financial asset.
