Floreat was born from a vision to bring expert art handling services and accessible cultural experiences to Canada’s West Coast. Trent Rucker, Floreat's owner and operator, previously served as North American Project Manager for the esteemed European art handlers, MuseumsPartner, where he managed the transportation and installation of cultural treasures across borders. Recognizing a gap in art handling services in the Pacific Northwest, Trent partnered with MuseumsPartner CEO Peter Elsaesser to create Floreat—a company dedicated to elevating the region's art logistics and making world-class cultural offerings more accessible.
