FAQ
Art is used often throughout film and tv productions. Whether there is a lot of it hanging in an art gallery set, or a single piece on a character's bedroom wall.
We usually cover the cost of getting your art to us initially, and releasing them back to you when you withdraw them from our care. If they are temporarily removed, e.g. for an exhibition or similar, we would ask that those costs are covered by yourself.
Of course we wouldn’t expect to have them exclusively and when you have them on exhibition just let us know - we can make sure they’re not booked on those dates and be here to help package them up or release them to yourself or a courier. If one of your pieces is sold, so permanently removed from our collection, then that is fine too and we can send it back. We would only ask for a couple of weeks notice so that we can retrieve it from any job it might be out on at the time.
In the event that a piece gets damaged while out on hire, we would expect the production who damaged it to cover the full valuation cost. We are also insured in case for any reason this is not possible. In this instance we would pay you for the full value of the piece and then claim that money back from our insurer.
We recommend 3-5 pieces to start, but are very flexible to each individual artist and what you feel comfortable sending out to us - some only like to send 1 or 2 to test the system, whereas others will send us their whole studio worth.
Usually pieces in around an A2 or A1 size do the best, but other sizes can also be hired out a fair amount. Any pieces that go nicely together in a set of 2-4 are of particular interest.
