One of the benefi ts of VPAG membership is access to the Art Rental Program.

Art Rental periods are 3 months long and can be renewed after each period.

Upon rental a member pays the full 3 month rental fee and signs an agreement.

When your rental period is up for renewal VPAG will contact you to see if you would like to renew your current artwork or switch it with new pieces.

If at any point you decide you would like to purchase the artwork, any previous rentals fees paid are applied to the purchase price.

How It Works

Art Rental is an excellent solution for decorating your vacation home and home staging.
