Support your local artist – lend unique art

Get unique art effortlessly and support your local artists! Art lending makes it easy to purchase high-quality visual art accessibly. Art lending is carried out on a monthly rent basis, and the loan contract is made on a non-fixed term basis. The customer may return the loaned piece to the Art Lending services at any time, thus ending the loan period immediately. If the customer decides to keep the work, they commit to paying the monthly instalment and following the Art Lending rules throughout the entire loan period, until the work has been either returned or paid in full.

The monthly instalment of the work of art is determined by its full price. The loan period for non-framed graphic prints, drawings, and photographs is one month, after which they must be either returned, or the customer commits to eventually paying them in full. The paying conditions are still the same as usual in the Art Lending services. The monthly instalment is paid in advance.

Art Lending serves business customers in a flexible and versatile manner in matters regarding art lending and art purchases offering e.g. designing services and exhibition services.

With the search function of the Art Lending website, companies can browse the selection in advance and, thus, select the ideal pieces to their facilities. Companies may rent or purchase individual pieces or rent personified exhibition services. The designing services includes the Helsinki Artists’ Association member artists’ visits to the companies facilities and proposals for works of art. Companies may rent or purchase individual works of art or rent customised exhibition services.

The exhibition services include a consulting and planning visit as well as the agreed set of exhibitions: selected pieces and the implementation (packing, transporting, hanging, and taking off the works of art) at the company’s facilities for a period of one month or longer. If the company decides to arrange an opening or event in connection to the exhibition, the artist or a representative of Art Lending can present the exhibition during the event.

The monthly price is determined by the total price of the work. As for non-framed prints and drawings, the lending time is one month. If the customer wants to return this type of work, it must be done within the first month. Otherwise, they commit to purchasing the piece. The terms of payment are the same. The monthly price must be paid in advance.

The customer is in charge of the loaned work of art and obligated to reimburse for the artist any damages to the work caused during the loan period. The works are loaned from the Art Lending services in the condition that they are in at the time of loaning.
