OUR STORY
FROM A 500 square foot studio to a Mega-gallery
Driven by a passion for art and the desire to bring beauty into as many homes, healthcare facilities, and corporate offices as possible, our founder and president, Litsa Spanos opened the doors of Art Design Consultants, Inc. (ADC) over 30 years ago. With just two clients and limited space, her ultimate goal was to create exquisite and inspiring environments. Litsa has an uncanny ability to select beautiful artwork and discover talented artists for her clients. This success has lead her to amass a desirable collection of fine art for a wide range of clientele.
Her vision continues to grow, transforming a retired popcorn machine factory into a beautiful 13,000 square ft. mega-gallery and framing facility in the West End of Cincinnati. Recently, Litsa has expanded ADC's reach across the river, opening a vibrant retail space and custom frame shop in the heart of Ft. Thomas, Kentucky.
As the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, ADC currently ranks in the top 2% of all women-owned business in the nation. Thanks to her company’s continued success, Litsa is uniquely positioned to support many nonprofit organizations that she cares passionately about.
