BORROWING ART. HOW IT WORKS

Kunstpunt Groningen’s Art Rental has a large and very diverse collection of artworks, including paintings, photographs, drawings, graphics and sculptures. Part of the collection comes directly from artists’ studios. For less than 8 euros a month you can have genuine art hanging on your wall. How?

BORROWING IS EASY:

  1. Choose one or more works from our art collections. You can borrow as many pieces of art as you wish.
  2. Reserve the work.
  3. Come and see it at the Art Rental. We’ll get it ready for you. Our staff will be happy to advise you in making the right choice.

Feeling inspired?

  1. Choose your subscription – borrow with or without saving.
  2. Pack it up and take it with you, or allow us to deliver it to your home.
  3. Enjoy art on your walls at home.
  4. Swap it whenever you want.

COLLECTION CREDIT

Collection credit is the loan money you have saved if you have opted for the ‘borrow with saving’ subscription. You don’t necessarily have to use your collection credit to buy the work you have at home – you can also use it to buy another work from our own collection. You tell us when you want to purchase a work.

Please note:

  • your collection credit is non-refundable.
  • The works of art in the Studio Collection cannot be purchased using collection credit. This is because they do not belong to Kunstpunt Groningen, but to the artists who provide them to us for rental and sale.

LOAN PERIOD

You may borrow works from our own collection for as long as you wish. There is no maximum loan period. If you want to swap them, you may do so at any time. This way you can try out all kinds of art.

The loan period for the Studio Collection is a minimum of six months and a maximum of one year. If you want to keep the work at home for longer, we can extend the loan period for you in consultation with the artist. See also our general terms and conditions..

MEMBERSHIP

To borrow art, you need to be a member of Kunstpunt Groningen, which costs 15 euros per year. To create a membership, we require a valid form of ID.

DELIVERY

Are you unable to take the art home yourself and would you rather have it delivered? We deliver every other week on Wednesday morning. The costs for this are:

  • Within a 7-km radius: 15 euros
  • Outside a 7-km radius (but within the province of Groningen), we add 1 euro per kilometre

BUYING A WORK OF ART

Almost all the work that is on loan is also for sale. One way of doing this is by using the collection credit that you accrue if you choose to borrow with saving. You can pay us in one go, pay by invoice or arrange to pay in instalments. On this page, you can find more information about buying art.
