Art Rental allows you to enjoy art with maximum flexibility and minimal financial risk. Paintings may be exchanged on a monthly basis to keep an office or living space fresh and evolving. For clients Mamie Hodgins, David Mills and Marcia Ordoway, the Art Rental program provides interest for patrons, creates conversation pieces for clients and staff, and revitalizes office and living space. Often people fall in love with the artwork they are renting. With Art Rental, the first 3 months of the rental monies paid are applied to the cost of the painting. The payment may also be made in installments, so the purchase of a painting is budgetable.
