Art Leasing

I want you to be certain you love the artwork you select, that is why I rent art to local (Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area) businesses and individuals. Renting from my studio lets you live with a custom-size canvas print before making the commitment to purchase it. Although you can rent any work of art for as many three-month rental terms as you like, at the end of each rental term you have the option to purchase the artwork. I will apply 50% of the total rental fees, paid to a particular piece, towards its purchase price.

Rental Basics

NO COMMITMENT
You can rent any artwork from my studio for as many three-month terms as you wish, or return the piece after just one. Unlike other galleries, my studio does not limit the number of terms, or charge an additional subscription fee with rentals.

A FRACTION OF THE COST OF PURCHASING
My quarterly rental fees are approximately 10% to 20% of the purchase price of the artwork. Bracketed in $250, $500, $1000 increments, the price of your rental will never fluctuate between terms.

INSTANT GRATIFICATION
After initiating a rental you have a week to apply 100% of an artworks rental fee (including sales tax) towards its purchase.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
At the end of your three-month rental term you have the option to renew for another term, return the piece back to the gallery, or purchase the artwork. I will apply 50% of the total rental fees, paid to a particular piece, towards its purchase price.

SUPPORT SYSTEM
I keep track of your rental so you don’t have to and an art consultant will send a friendly reminder when your term is drawing to a close. I am happy to calculate your updated purchase price with your rental credit, or I can just automatically renew. When you rent artwork from my studio you receive the same level of quality service as purchasing.

RENT TO OWN
Because half of the rental fee of a particular piece is applied towards its purchase, if you rent an artwork long enough you get to keep it!

LOCALS ONLY
While I love my fans from across the world, artwork rentals are only available to businesses and individuals within Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area.

GET STARTED!
To start a new rental all we require a valid Drivers License or ID, a authorized credit card, and a completed Rental Agreement. The entire process only takes a few minutes and you can walk out the door with your new rental.

For Corporates

WHY RENT ART? WHY CHOOSE A LOCAL ARTIST?
Renting artwork from local artists is also a great way to demonstrate support and commitment to the local community. In addition you can receive tax benefits when you rent art for a business by deducting rental fees as an operating expense.

For corporate and small offices, fine art creates a welcoming environment for visitors, stimulates conversation among colleagues, and helps reinforce your professional identity and corporate culture. Whether your office is big or small, adding artwork is an easy way to transform a stale office into a lively workplace.

For restaurants and hospitalities, pairing local fine art with fine food is a great way to compliment your guests dining experience. You can even change your artwork seasonally with your menu.

For designers, stagers, film & print, from high-end residential staging to national print campaigns and major motion pictures, the unique artworks of Tamao Nakayama help designers and stagers looking to add an elegant and sophisticated polish to their project.
