Art Windsor-Essex (formerly the Art Gallery of Windsor) supports the presentation of Canadian visual arts in the international border community of Windsor-Detroit—one of the busiest border crossings in North America. Established in 1943, AWE is a cultural pillar, situated in a landmark riverfront location overlooking the Detroit River and downtown skylines. The Gallery is recognized for its cutting-edge contemporary art program and a Canadian art collection now approaching 4,000 works.

In 2016, AWE sought a strategic marketing and digital advertising partner to help grow the organization through brand building, fundraising, member relationship management, tourism strategies, and enhanced digital presence. Through an RFP process, Interkom was selected and was been a trusted partner from 2016-2024.
