Dear friends,
I have a student who is an artist. He does works of art and he is trying to create a company dedicated to "Art",but he asked me for the name of that company.
He thinks in this name:
"Integral Arts Development" ,
I don �t like the word "integral" because I think it isn �t in the sense he wants because he is thinking maybe in Spanish.
In that company he pretends to work in all areas, like taxes, administration, deliveries, etc. all related to Art, that �s why he thought in the word "integral" because in Spanish it means "as a whole" but I think it is not the same meaning in English.
Can you help me? What is your opinion?
Thank you in advance. Arito

I checked the Oxfords Collocations dictionary, and here you have some suggestions for the word "arts":
High Arts Development
Conceptual Arts Development
Pop Arts Development (I like this one, don �t know why)
Cutting-edge Arts Development
You may want to check the dictionary and see if there �s any other adjective that might please your student. I couldn �t find any adjective that somehow meant "integral" in the Spanish sense.
Hope I could help!!

I like the sound of Conceptual
What about incorporating the word diverse, diversity, diversification. (possibly in a slogan)
Diverse Art. (Sounds a bit provocative)
Art Diversification.
Diversity in Art
Absolute Art (Sounds good)
Enjoy. |

Maybe he could take a leaf out of the Looney Tunes sketchbook and call his new company the ACME Group - based on the acronym Arts Company Makes Everything? And the postmodern twist? Unlike Wile E. Coyote �s favourite supplier, this group actually succeeds in everything it does.
