MAISON STEWARD OFFICE exists to serve principals whose cultural assets and public cultural decisions require the same rigor, governance, and discretion applied to financial and legal matters.

As cultural assets increasingly carry reputational, institutional, and intergenerational implications, the need for independent cultural governance has become critical. Most market participants remain transaction-driven. MAISON STEWARD OFFICE is governance-driven.

The Office operates as a long-term advisor, helping clients navigate decisions that shape legacy, public trust, and institutional alignment across borders and generations.

    • A private cultural governance and stewardship advisory

    • A coordinating layer between principals, advisors, and institutions

    • An independent source of judgment without sales incentives

    • A retail gallery

    • A brokerage

    • A promotional or visibility platform

    • A substitute for financial, legal, or tax advisors

    • Governance First
      Decisions are evaluated through a long-term stewardship lens, not short-term opportunity.

    • Discretion by Design
      Client identities, holdings, and activities remain confidential.

    • Limited Engagements
      The Office caps its client roster to preserve depth and continuity.

    • Non-Competitive Positioning
      We complement existing advisors rather than replacing them.

    • Measured Visibility
      Public engagement is intentional, strategic, and never performative.

MAISON STEWARD OFFICE is led by founder and principal Janice Bond, whose background spans cultural governance, institutional leadership, public art stewardship, and cross-sector advisory across the United States and Europe.
