Create Income Through Renting Your Artwork

by Carolyn Edlund

Renting artwork to individuals or businesses is an opportunity available to artists. Have you ever considered it?

I recently spoke with Samantha Ward, who is the Artist Relations Manager at Easely about this interesting twist in the online marketplace.

AS: Your website offers this type of opportunity to artists and clients. How does the rental program work?

SW: We rent high-quality prints of artist’s work, and artists receive royalties on our rental prices. It’s a very passive income stream, which makes it easy to do. All we need are high-quality images of the artwork, which we then market, print, and ship.

Customers can buy these prints, or swap them out for free every year for a new piece. Artists also receive commission if a customer buys a print after renting it. The longer a customer rents, the more discounts are unlocked on the print. We can also help artists facilitate sales of the original pieces that customers are renting prints of, if the customer decides that they want to purchase the original.
