Since its creation in 1967 for Canada’s Centennial, the Art Rental and Sales Service has taken an active role in promoting and sharing art within the community. Over 110 contemporary works of art are made available to the public for rent or purchase every year. A simple, affordable way to enhance your decor!
Every year, the Art Rental and Sales Service updates its collection and invites artists to submit their works of art to panel members. The selected works of art, which include drawings, paintings, photographs, engravings and mixed media pieces, are initially put on exhibit at the Art Gallery and are then made available for sale or rent.
Call for submissions for the 2027 Art Rental Collection
 |  |
For over 50 years, the Stewart Hall Art Rental and Sales Service has showcased the talent of local artists from Pointe-Claire and the surrounding community. The mandate of this service is to promote and support the accessibility of original works of art by offering individuals and corporations the opportunity to buy or rent art for a nominal fee.
Every fall, the Art Rental and Sales Service renews its collection by inviting artists of the greater Montreal area to submit their works to a professional jury. After being presented at the Gallery, the selected works are available for purchase or rent on a monthly basis at the Art Rental and Sales Service for a period of one year.
Please view the steps below to submit your work for the Art Rental 2027 Collection at Stewart Hall Art Gallery.
The jury and selection process for the Art Rental Collection will solely take place electronically.
Submission criteria:
- We will accept paintings, photographs, drawings, mixed media and original prints.
- Works must be created by the artist and have been produced within the past five years. The artist must be the owner of the artwork and will be required to sign a contract indicating this.
- Only original works of art may be submitted. We do not permit giclée prints (with the exception of digital photographs).
- Artworks can be abstract or representational.
- Representational Portraits (an artwork depicting a single human figure and focused on an individual face) will be excluded from consideration however abstract portraits are permitted.
- A maximum of three works of art may be submitted.
- The title of the work, date, medium, size (maximum including frame 92 cm x 104 cm : 36 in x 41 in) and price (maximum $ 2000 ) must be included for each submission.
- Images of works submitted do not need to include the frame. However, should an artwork be accepted, it must be framed and ready to hang when it is dropped off. Failure to do so will result in the exclusion of the work from the show.
- We reserve the right to refuse an accepted artwork should it arrive in poor condition.
- All accepted artworks must be available for rental and sale.
Please take note that all rental payments (a percentage of the sale price per month) collected will be remitted in full to the artist twice a year in June and December. The City of Pointe-Claire retains a commission of 25% for works sold.
Submission deadline: September 23, 2026 by midnight.
Applicants will be notified by e-mail as to the jury’s decision regarding their submission on Wednesday October 7, 2026. Those with accepted artworks will be contacted to set up an appointment to deliver their works to the Gallery. The drop-off times will be scheduled from Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31, 2026.
All artists whose artworks have been accepted for the 2027 collection and have works in the present collection (2026) should pick them up at their designated appointment time.
Works selected for the Art Rental 2027 Collection will be on exhibition at Stewart Hall Art Gallery from November 14, 2026 to January 10, 2027. The new collection will then be on display in Art Rental for one year.
