BEHIND A Meet nte Smith
From the moment you first fall in love with a piece of art in one of our galleries until the moment that your piece is proudly displayed in your home, catching every ray of light and reflecting back your joy, each piece at Exclusive Collections Gallery is handled with the utmost care and respect.
Every piece of artwork goes through a set of stops on its route to your home, the last and perhaps most important stop being with our packaging and shipping controller Ante Smith.
Whether your painting, glass piece, or sculpture is traveling across town or across continents, Ante ensures that your artwork is properly wrapped and secure before leaving our offices. In the three years since he first started, Ante has packaged and shipped hundreds of art pieces, built crates from scratch, and rolled enough bubble wrap to provide stress relief for a lifetime.
In addition to shipping, Ante also provides gallery support, making his way to the local galleries on a weekly basis to help with the transfer of artwork, deliveries, and rehanging the galleries.
Apart from his dedication to the care of artwork, Ante also invests his time into various art forms outside of the workplace. He is a self-taught DJ, as well as a graphic and clothing designer and co-owner for Reign Supreme, a brand that he built with his brother.
“It’s amazing that these little souls, these little humans do things just like you did. I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
“I make sure that everything is secure, even the smallest of pieces,” he said. “Before shipping each piece I personally sign each shipping letter so the clients know who was responsible for handling each package and that it was done with care.”

Family is extremely important for the soon-to-be married father of three. While all of his creative outlets allow for his self-expression, his daughters and son allow for him to witness all of that expressed right back to him. “It’s amazing that these little souls, these little humans do things just like you did,” he said. “I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
