5 Tips On Gifting Art

Summer is here, the sky is blue, whoa-oh-oh…

Are you going to the chapel and want to find that perfect off-registry gift to wow your special someones?

Why not consider giving the gift of art this wedding season!

Art can be a memorable gift that will last with the happy couple throughout the years. Here’s a few things you might want to consider before saying “I do” to that perfect piece.


Budget:

With any purchase, budget will ultimately help you decide what kind of art purchase you’ll be making. Always feel comfortable being upfront with a gallery or individual artist about what your budget is so that they can make easier recommendations.


Subject:

What do you know about who you're shopping for? Do they love travel? Camping? Is there somewhere specific that holds special meaning to them? If possible, finding a piece of art with personal meaning is always a safe way to guarantee that their new art will be loved forever more.


Size:

Do these newlyweds have a home full of bare walls or are they already collectors? If you’re unsure, it’s always a safe bet to go with a medium size piece  to be sure they’ll have space for something in their home. If you know their space is missing larger pieces and have the budget to splurge, then try for a bigger piece!


Returns:

Does the gallery or artist you’re making a purchase with offer returns? Feel confident with your gift giving and be sure to request a gift receipt as a just in case.


Gift Certificates:

Overwhelmed by choice and just don’t know what kind of art to pick? Gift certificates are a great option for art gift giving.
