The Rental & Sales Gallery is located on the second floor of Art Gallery of St. Albert. We represent over 60 local and regional artists with national and international reputations. These artists have made their work available through the Rental & Sales Gallery program for people and businesses to purchase or to rent on a monthly basis.

Low Rental Fees, Easy Purchase Terms
Rental fees range from $5 – $120 monthly for works valued upwards of $5,000. Rental fees are based on a minimum rental period of one month and can continue for as long as the client would like. If you decide to purchase your artwork (after a minimum of one month’s rental), a Rental Discount is applied where 50% of the rental fees paid will be discounted from the purchase price (to a maximum of 6 months). Clients who purchase artwork may pay in full or by monthly installments through our no-interest payment plan.
Gifting Artwork
Original artwork makes a memorable gift for retirees, visitors, or friends who are relocating. All artwork is sold ready to hang and can be wrapped to suit your occasion. The Rental & Sales Gallery has a wide selection of scenes from Alberta, and most of our artwork is created by local or regional Canadian artists. A wide range of styles, subject matter and prices are available.
We also offer Gift Certificates which make a practical gift choice for new homeowners, weddings, birthdays, retirements, etc. Our gift certificates may be applied to the rental or sale of artwork, and Arts and Heritage memberships. The Gallery offers gift certificates in any denomination.
