Purchase and Sales
/ Rental Policies
We accept all methods of payments, Cash,
Debit, all major credit cards, as well as personal or certified
checks. If you request layaway, which we will be happy to
accommodate, we ask for a 30% deposit, with the balance paid
within 60 days.
If you wish to try out a piece or two in your home, Studio EMC2 has a service that allows you to "borrow"
any prospective purchase for 5 days. There's no obligation
to purchase and our only request is that the art be returned
safely and intact should you decide not to purchase the piece.
Art is something to be enjoyed, make sure it ‘fits’
into your home!
Our paintings, for the most part, will not be framed. Many
of our pieces will have un-painted or painted edges, depending
on the artist's expression. Framing is a personal choice depending
on one's decor and taste. Our staff will be more than happy
to suggest framing options with referrals to a few select
professionals in the area.
We also believe that art should be chosen
wisely. Art is not like a couch or table that may one day
end up in the basement. Tastes change but we believe that
whatever art choices you make for your home today will last
you a lifetime. You're making a statement by having art in
your home - buy art because you like it! Art should be savored,
enjoyed and allowed to find it's right place. With this in
mind, Studio EMC2 also offers free
art and interior design consultations, as Christian Paré
and his staff have backgrounds in Interior Design and/or Art
Sales and can offer their help with colour and choices.
We also can help you with your art choices outside the home,
should you like a consultation for your office or place of
business.
People wonder if they should buy art to match
other art purchases or furnishings, or if the art should make
an independent statement? Here are some good guidelines to
help you.
(1) If your decor is monochromatic or features vibrant colour
and you want your art-choice to match within that colour scheme,
Studio EMC2 will be happy to suggest
art pieces to work within your decor. Please bring colour
swatches, fabrics or even your favorite pillow to help us
assist you in your decision.
(2) If you would like a painting or art piece to make an individual
statement, wonderful, take that approach! If you like a piece
for the impact you feel it will make in your home, go with
it! If you worry about it’s colour scheme, you can always
buy a vase or pillow for the room that brings out the same
colour but doesn't take away from your piece of art. Art is
personal and different people see different things when looking
at the same piece. Buying art is usually an emotional purchase;
instinctual and from the heart. Choose wisely!
What about future value?
It's hard to tell who will be the next Andy Warhol or Picasso.
Most importantly, we at Studio EMC2
want to stress that you should buy art simply because you
like it (and can afford it)!
The art market and personal tastes will change. Studio EMC2 will do our best in offering new, immerging
talent as well as work from artists who are more established
in the market and already have a loyal following. We will
strive to carry a continued variety or work, in various mediums
and price points.
Your art choices allow you to project to others your independence
and personal affinity to a particular piece. Enjoy!
