Art Rental

Gallery Raymond is pleased to offer an art rental service. We have over 400 original works of art at the gallery available from most of the local artists we represent. Art rental is an inexpensive way to decorate your home or business and allows you to live with a piece before committing to a final purchase. It is also a fun way of changing your art work on a regular basis and an opportunity to try out new pieces. No long-term rental is required.

For your home

Beautify your home while you are living in Kingston temporarily or longer term.
If you are selling, rent art as you stage your home to help appeal to potential buyers.
Try out a piece for possible purchase to see if it fits in your home.

For your business

Enliven your hotel or restaurant spaces to help attract customers.

Besides being an affordable means to give your business unique appeal, art rental is considered a business expense.
