  • Founder's Note

    “A sustainable creative environment is one built on long-term commitment, an inclusive approach that not only caters to a small percentage of elite market, but to those who could set aside a monthly investment towards purchasing art."

  • Acquiring art with ease

     

    AFA members will have access to a flexible payment plan enabling them to purchase valuable art with ease. The gallery will take the total price of the artwork, including taxes, divide equally by either 2 or 3 monthly payment plan by cheque, cash, debit card, or credit card.

     

    The member will sign a Buyer's Form with Fann A Porter which sets out the terms of the payments and authorizes the Gallery to process the monthly instalments.

     

    The first payment is the deposit to be paid directly to the gallery at the time of signing the Buyer's Form. The client will submit the following payments through 2-3 post-dated security cheques. Post-dated cheques can be replaced by debit/ credit card payment of the due month at no additional cost.

     

    The artwork stays at the gallery until all payments are completed. No extra charges will be applied.
