Visual artists in the community are encouraged to contribute to the North Vancouver Community Arts Council's art rental program.

The program allows individuals and businesses to rent paintings, photography and mixed media works by local artists for an affordable price. Meanwhile, artists gain exposure and revenue -- royalties are paid semi-annually.

New works will be considered for the program on a jury day, Sunday, Nov. 14. Selected pieces will be contracted for a minimum of one year.

Those interested can drop off up to five pieces, framed and wired to the CityScape Community Art Space, 335 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver on Sunday, Nov. 14, 9:30-11:30 a.m.

Artists are required to pay a $15 jury fee and must be members of the arts council.

The entire art rental collection will be on display at CityScape at an exhibition in January.
