Core offering

Arcis operates a 110,000 sq ft museum-grade climate-controlled fine art storage facility in Harlem, New York, delivering short- and long-term storage, private viewing rooms, art handling (condition reports, installations, custom crating), and GPS-tracked climate-controlled art transport. The facility holds the first federally designated Foreign Trade Zone status for cultural property in the United States, enabling tax-efficient storage for international collectors.

Product overview

Arcis Fine Art + Collection Care operates a single, unified facility-based service offering centered around its 110,000 sq. ft. Manhattan storage facility. The core offering is museum-grade fine art storage paired with viewing rooms, art handling services (installation, condition reports, custom crating), and climate-controlled transport. A distinctive feature is its status as New York City's first Foreign Trade Zone for fine art, enabling international collectors to store art with duty deferment benefits. The company does not operate a software platform or offer modular/add-on products—the services are delivered through physical facilities and trained staff.
