Rental Info & FAQ

How renting cleared artwork from Funhouse Arts works: pricing, pickup, packing, and payment.

How does renting from Funhouse Arts work?

Browse the cleared-artwork catalog, save pieces into a project, and submit a rental request. We send a quote within one business day; once you approve, you arrange pickup for your rental period and return the work at the end.

Where is Funhouse Arts located, and how can I get there?

We are located at 44-68 Vernon Blvd, Long Island City, NY 11101. Our cross streets are 44 Drive and Vernon Boulevard. It is a brick building with a private, ground-floor loading dock with direct access to our warehouse.

The nearest subway lines are the E/F/G trains, within walking distance of both the Court Square-23 St station and the 21st St station.

What does "cleared" artwork mean?

Every piece is rights-cleared for on-camera use: the artist has granted Funhouse the right to rent it for production, so it can appear in a film, show, commercial, or shoot without separate licensing or clearance from your production's legal team. (But double-checking never hurts.)

How much does it cost?

Rentals are priced per week and quoted per project. Submit a project and we will send a quote within one business day. New clients get 20% off their first rental.

What is the minimum rental period?

One week (7 days); rentals are billed weekly.

Do you deliver?

Pickup only, from our Long Island City location. Next-day pickup is readily available and same-day can be arranged for special cases. We do not offer delivery.

What kind of art do you carry?

Public-domain and original work by independent artists: 700+ framed, rentable pieces across a wide range of styles and moods, from abstract paintings to embroidery. New artwork added regularly.

How is artwork packed for pickup?

All rentals are plastic-wrapped, blanket-wrapped, or boxed with bubble wrap before pickup. When ordering ahead of time, artworks will be ready to go when you, a colleague, or a courier arrive for pickup.

We make an effort to maintain artworks in excellent condition and to accurately depict them in our online catalog, color-matched to daylight conditions, but appearance may vary under different lighting or display settings. If you have questions about the condition or appearance of an item, please ask. If you believe you have received an artwork in poor or unusable condition, please contact us immediately, ideally with photos, so we can determine the cause and a fix, or offer you a substitute item. Additional fees may be assessed for artworks returned damaged, broken, or otherwise in worse condition than they were released.

Do I need to re-wrap artwork before returning it?

Please re-use the packing materials when possible for returning your rentals; missing packing blankets will result in a replacement fee. Additional fees may be assessed for artwork returned damaged, broken, or otherwise in worse condition than they were released.

How do I pay for a rental?

No payment or confirmation is required to submit your project or place a hold. When you are ready to confirm, we accept:

  • Credit card — complete the authorization form at the bottom of our Rental Agreement; once it is signed and returned, you will receive a confirmation when your card is processed.
