ABOUT ARTFX
Some of the world’s most sensational signage, architectural fabrication and corporate art originates at ARTfx. Our Bloomfield, Connecticut, staff includes designers from the nation’s leading art schools, craftsmen with decades of industry experience, and project managers with a diversity of backgrounds – all committed to the model set forth 38 years ago. Though our work has increased in scale and scope, the focus on artistry and attention to detail remains as it was the day the doors opened in 1983.
RECENT PROJECTS
Tao – Mohegan Sun
For erecting 900 pound, ¾” thick sheets of specialty glass, the Mohegan Sun Casino chose ARTfx. Translucent red laminated sheets flank the entry and form the water tunnel at Tao restaurant at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut.
A 25’-0” tall round column with 8’-0” diameter granite bases and capitals stands in front. Please keep this a secret – ARTfx made the “granite” pieces from high-density urethane foam and painted them to identically match surrounding masonry baseboards.
Sherkaan Indian Street Food
When thinking of ‘safety,’ one rarely considers ‘elegance.’ At Sherkaan in New Haven, Connecticut, functional sneeze guards serve a second purpose as stylish, translucent privacy barriers which feature thematic jungle designs.
Elicit Brewing Company EXTERIOR
Often our most outstanding work evolves from design collaboration. For the Elicit Brewing Company’s exterior sign system, ARTfx worked closely with Box 8 Creative, a full-service graphic design agency dedicated to building powerful marketing for the hospitality industry.
lighthouse surgery center
Featuring an ARTfx logo, the Lighthouse monument sign showcases two of our hallmark faux-finishing techniques – variegated limestone and stained hardwood.
centrifuge
Over the entry to the famous Centrifuge ride at Seaside Heights, New Jersey, sits a landmark ARTfx sign. Swirling metal hoops and radiant rings of light suggest an energy of rotation and revolution.
ELICIT BREWING COMPANY INTERIOR
ARTfx’ design team, after researching the history of the state’s beer breweries, collected and arranged components for this hand-painted mural in Manchester, Connecticut.
