Welcome to CREATIVE EDITIONS: A new and exciting way to collect Art from Argyle Fine Art

At Argyle Fine Art, we're  always looking for ways to educate people and develop art appreciation for our local artists in our community. We are pleased to present CREATIVE EDITIONS - a new, fun and affordable way to collect very limited and very special edition prints of works by twelve Nova Scotia artists. Operating on the model of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) or wine subscription service, CREATIVE EDITIONS offers amazing original works of art instead of vegetables or wine. Imagine how much fun it will be to receive a new work by a new artist each month!

 Subscribers can choose to order a 12 month or 6 month subscription. Subscribers will receive a new work  by a different local artist each month. Subscriptions are $120/ per 12month subscription for pick-up or $195/ year including postage within Canada and the United States(+plus applicable taxes). Subscriptions are $75/ per six month subscription or $115/ 6 six month subscription including shipping. Alternate rates can be made available for International orders on a case-by-case basis.

Each limited edition print will be printed on archival fine art paper, measuring 6" x 9" , and will be printed professionally by Eric Boutilier-Brown Photography here in Nova Scotia. Each work will be signed by the artist and will also include an artist's bio along with it.. The works selected for each print will be made by Argyle Fine Art, which will include never seen works by the artists. These works will only be available to subscription members. The limited editions will be numbered, signed by hand, and released on the 15th of each month, beginning on August 15th, 2014.

CREATIVE EDITIONS allows subscribers to receive high quality works, worth much more than the subscription cost. This gives local artists exposure, and helps support the arts and artists in Nova Scotia! Join today!

Call or email us ASAP to confirm your subscription and be part of the beginning of CREATIVE EDITIONS - first limited edition piece will be launched on August 15th. Phone 902-425-9456 or gallery@argylefa.com  We can receive payment via PAYPAL, or over the phone/in-person with Visa, Mastercard or Debit.

Questions and Answers  Section  (if you have additional questions, feel free to contact us directly)

Q: What do the prints measure?

A: All works  are 6" x 9" , prints on paper, and are limited edition prints, signed by the artist featured.

Q: Do all subscribers receive the same thing?

A: Each month everyone will receive the same limited edition per month regardless of when you begin your subscription. Additional prints may be available at the end of the year, to anyone that only began the subscription part of the way through the year or to a subscriber who may want to collect more than one edition of the same piece.

Q: Can I pick a particular artist?

A: No, you can’t pick an artist. We'll be highlighting an artist to feature each month- which will remain a secret until all subscribers have been notified. All artists selected for this project will be artists shown at Argyle Fine Art.

Q: How many months do I have to subscribe?

A: You must subscribe to either the 6 month or 12 month subscription term.

Q: What if I live far away from Halifax, Nova Scotia?

A: No problem. Select the shipping subscription which includes the cost of postage within Canada.

Q: Where do I pick up my CREATIVE EDITIONS (without the shipping option)?

A: Pick up your CREATIVE EDITIONS on the 15th of each month at Argyle Fine Art located at 1559 Barrington Street, Halifax, NS during normal business hours (Tuesday-Saturday 10am-5:30pm).

Q: Can I give CREATIVE EDITIONS as a gift?

A:Yes! CREATIVE EDITIONS makes a wonderful gift for anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, housewarming gifts, etc. 

Q: Can I start my subscription at any time?

A: Yes, you may begin your subscription at anytime. Each monthly edition will be made ready on the 15th of each month.

Q:Can I get a Refund on my Subscription?

A: The subscription is final sale, however should you decide that you no longer want to receive the art to finish out your subscription, we suggest that you re-direct your subscription to someone you know that may enjoy it.

Q: Do I have to pay tax?

A: Yes- however if we are shipping the works out of the province of Nova Scotia or out of Canada, different tax rates apply.

Q: This sounds like a great deal. Are there any more incentives?

A: We will include one EXTRA print  to all of our 12 month subscribers at the end of the year, as a special thank you for your support! This will bring the total limited edition prints for yearly subscribers to 13. You will also all have the chance to view and purchase the ORIGINAL painting or drawing that the limited edition was made from, at the time of picking up your prints at Argyle Fine Art. We hope to have an evening when you can also meet the artists- still to be determined.

Q: How do I find out when my CREATIVE EDITIONS print is available? Or about special events for subscribers?

A: We'll send you a monthly email newsletter that gives you the exclusive scoop, featured artist exhibits, and such. Of course, you can always opt out if you do not want to receive the newsletter.

Q: What if I don’t like my piece?

A: Art is subjective and although we believe that all the artwork we send out is great, you may enjoy some pieces more than others - this is part of the fun, when learning to appreciate the broad range of local artistic styles!  Even if you do not like something, the amount of money spent on CREATIVE EDITIONS is so minimal, your subscription will be well worth your money spent. You are not able to exchange this print for another or postpone for an extension for another month. If you don't like the work given on a particular month, you might consider giving it to someone as a gift!

Q: I really like this idea and your artists. How can I keep abreast of what is going on with your artists?

A: Join our email list for updates on shows, special events or specific artist's works.Just tell us you'd like to be added to our list and we'll make it so!
