Female-Founded, Owned and Operated

Our mission has always been clear: to provide top-tier representation for our talent while delivering unmatched service and dedication to our clients. 

We take pride in nurturing careers, building lasting relationships, and maintaining the highest standards in the industry. Whether it’s fashion, film, or commercial work, we remain committed to excellence - because when our talent succeeds, so do our clients.

Since 1985…

For 40 years, we have been at the forefront of the fashion and beauty industry, setting the standard for excellence in talent representation. What began as a visionary agency for stylists quickly evolved into a full-service agency representing the most sought-after models in the business. As we grew, we continued to build our reputation for professionalism, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to our talent and clients.


Our journey expanded in 2021 when we acquired Central Casting, a legacy agency with over 50 years of experience in the industry. This merge led us to represent actors, broadening our reach and deepening our impact across fashion, beauty, and entertainment.

More Than Just a Business

Our agency is more than just a business-it’s a community. We pride ourselves on 
fostering long-term relationships, mentoring talent, and ensuring that everyone we 
represent has the support and opportunities to thrive. As we continue to grow, our 
mission remains the same: to elevate industry standards, champion talent, and deliver excellence at every level.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Since our inception, THE Artist Agency has remained deeply committed to giving back. We believe in using our platform, resources, and talent to uplift others and support the community. We’re proud to be part of focusing on health, healing and human rights.

Over the years, we’ve partnered with numerous organizations and causes close to our hearts. Our outreach program, Beauty Within DC, has supported women and families living in shelters for over two decades. We’ve contributed our time, services, and talent to cancer-related charities like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, supported HIV/AIDS outreach through Hope for Children in Ethiopia, in addition to Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation and The American Heart Association.

We also recognize that our industry is not immune to darker realities, including the global crisis of human trafficking. As an agency, we are committed to raising awareness and promoting transparency and safety within all aspects of our work. We proudly support organizations like A21 and regularly share resources and prevention information in our new talent correspondence. We believe that advocacy starts with accountability — and that using our voice can help protect the most vulnerable among us.
