The arrangement

Collect by living,
not by guessing.

Perma Locum sits between the gallery and the room. We make the introduction, handle every practical detail, and give the relationship time to become clear.

01

We learn your space

Share dimensions, light, architecture, and the feeling you want the room to hold.

02

We curate the work

Receive a considered edit from our juried roster, with placement mockups and artist context.

03

You live with it

We deliver, install, insure, and rotate the work when your space asks for something new.

04

Ownership builds

Every monthly payment becomes equity. Keep living with it, exchange it, or make it permanent.

Simple terms

A monthly relationship
with a permanent option.

Rates are based on the artist’s established retail value. Every dollar paid under lease-to-own is credited toward ownership—never treated as a sunk rental fee.

“The goal isn’t to move inventory. It’s to make the right work feel at home.”
