How an AArtners install works
ASTRO built the program for working STR owners—everything from artist sourcing to insurance and removal is turnkey.

Placement options for every property

Resident Rotations
Quarterly art collections curated around local stories. Includes one feature wall, suggested talking points for hosts, and optional launch events.

Why owners love AArtners
It’s not just wall art. AArtners gives you sponsor-grade storytelling, guest engagement, and new revenue without adding staff.
Curated storytelling
Connect guests to your city
Artists are selected for regional relevance. Every piece comes with narrative cards and QR audio so guests leave with a deeper story.
Guaranteed fit
Preview before anything ships
Digital mockups, dimensioned layouts, and sponsor guidelines arrive before install so you never guess about colors or placement.
