TKOart is proud to have been a part of the extensive renovation and expansion of the Ameristar Casino Resort St. Charles in Missouri, one of the top luxury hotels in the state. The project involved providing over 6000 pieces of artwork for the entire property, including the convention and event spaces, public areas, restaurants, private conference rooms, and much more.

As the sole art consultant for the project, TKOart crafted a unique collection of artwork that seamlessly complemented the hotel's branding and color scheme. From local and international artists, TKOart curated pieces that embodied the spirit of each of the seven branded properties within the hotel. In addition to providing custom framing, printing, and fabrication services, TKOart also designed and created custom accessories, sculptures, and vessels for the presidential suites, and supplied mirrors at multiple price points throughout the property. This allowed us to provide a visually stunning and cohesive experience for guests, with every aspect of the art meticulously planned and executed.

The range of services provided to Ameristar Casino includes:

• Art curation totaling over 6000 pieces of artwork for the entire property, including the convention and event spaces, public areas, restaurants, private conference rooms, and more
• Custom art framing, printing, and fabrication services, ensuring that every aspect of the artwork was on-brand and visually appealing
• Commissioned artists from across the country to create one-of-a-kind artwork
