Come see what your walls are missing. |
Whether you are you staging a home for sale, have an empty wall in your board room, or love contemporary art but can’t decide what to purchase, you’ll find what you’re looking for in the Vancouver Art Gallery’s Art Rental & Sales Showroom. With more than 1,000 works by 200 Canadian artists, Art Rental & Sales has the largest selection of copyright cleared, original art for rent in British Columbia.
Art Rental & Sales is a not-for-profit business operated by the Vancouver Art Gallery. Since 1952, the program has promoted emerging and mid-career Canadian artists through the rental and sale of their artwork. All the artwork in the rental program is consigned by the artists who receive the majority of the fees collected. The remaining proceeds are donated to the Vancouver Art Gallery.
To participate in the Art Rental & Sales program:
- All the artworks are for sale, but you must be a member of the Vancouver Art Gallery to rent from the program.
- The minimum rental period is one month
- Rental fees range from $10 - $250 per month*
- The average rental fee is only $80/month
- Delivery and installation is available (for an additional fee).
- If you decide that you would like to purchase the art you’re renting, we’ll credit up to three months of your paid rental fees toward the original purchase price
Need a special gift? We have a wide selection of BC landscape paintings all priced below $500. Renting art for your office? Rental fees for Canadian art are a tax deductable business expense and the purchase of Canadian art can be a depreciable asset.
Call us to make an appointment or stop by our Art Rental & Sales Showroom located on the main floor of the Vancouver Art Gallery. Our consultants will work with you to choose the perfect work for your personal or business needs.
