Art Rental Program

 

 

Since many of us have to spend forty hours – or more! – every week at our offices, there should be an affordable way for businesses to create more engaging, creative and satisfying environments for employees, visitors and clients. 
 
The Artistsʼ Network is a membership-based, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting visual artists in their business practice. There are 175+ artist members working in all types of media. Together, they have selected and assembled a limited collection that represents some of the best work of participating artists.
 
Our Art Rental Program provides an opportunity for businesses across the GTA to display, high-quality, professional and original artwork in their offices at a fraction of the cost of purchasing them. Itʼs also a simple way for you to position your business as a cultural leader and a supporter of the arts. 
 
This outstanding collection of original works of art, all available for rent.
 
 
The Artists' Network is currently accepting Submissions from Artists to participate. This program is limited to members of the Artists' Network at the time of application. Current Deadline: 5:00PM Sunday, October 15th, 2012.
