profit, but first to make us connoisseurs of fine
art," said Dr. Alan Cohn of West Bloomfield.
"They do this by anticipating our interests,
understanding our taste and fulfilling our
needs. More important, they act like they are
connoisseurs of our collection and take an
active interest. They are the only company I
know that will come in and stage the art, hang
it and make sure it is done properly and in the
proper place."
Art Leaders also has a custom framing
service inside the gallery with an extensive
selection of museum-quality materials.
The gallery is set up to host charitable
events, such as recent fundraisers for JARC and
Friendship Circle, because the Mansours feel
is it important to give back to the neighbor-
ing community. The space also is available for
private parties.
"We try to make clients feel comfortable
and involved," Bonnie says. "This is not an
intimidating atmosphere, but warm and
welcoming."
