Put your art to work on set.
Black Market Art is a new rental studio servicing the Vancouver film and television industry. We feature cleared works from predominantly Canadian artists in a vast array of styles and media.
Great sets depend on great art.
Network Lawyers are keen to remind us that just about anything hung on a set wall now falls under the growing legal territory of ‘art’ requiring clearance — from vintage wall tchotchkes and 70s tapestries, to religious wood carvings and found decorative objects.
It’s all art. And permission from each artist is necessary.
Prohibition era.
As the rules of the game change, it has become tricky for creative departments to source clearable vintage pieces: the origins are often unknown or the artists are ☠️ (RIP). And finding the time or resources to hunt down brave new works one artist at a time can be equally difficult.
BMA was born out of a desire to improve our access to ALL kinds of original works in one place, with one click, by featuring living, breathing local artists.
Win/Win.
Industry creatives: Choose available pieces using the simple online gallery. Enter the rental dates, add pieces to your cart, submit the order, and pick up from the shop.
Artists: Sell your work — old stuff, new stuff, or stuff whipped up special for BMA. Get exposure on the big & small screens under your own name, or use an alias and just get paid.
