Review: Easel Rentals

Always a dilemma for artists who rarely own more than one or two easels for display or production, what to do with your art at an exhibit with limited display resources.

On a recent visit the studio of local artist Ana Jurpik, I was introduced to Richard Machacek of Easel Rentals. Not only do they rent easels, they also design and construct fanciful and uniquely decorative display easels, perfect for tradeshows, executive meetings, and special events.

Showcased on Toronto’s Breakfast Television for the Artists’ Project, Easel Rentals come in all shapes and sizes. Starting at $15 Cdn a day with package discounts, arguably the easiest of the options to transport are the “Black Modern” that come completely broken down into the smallest possible shape, fitting into a ski bag. Simple to rebuild, these easels provide a sturdy yet classy way to exhibit artworks.

Decorative designs such as the “Flying Doves”, “Traditional” or “Sea Mermaids” can often enhance the essence of the painting by expanding on its composition.

Delivery is free in the GTA and self-serve pick up is also available.

Call Easel Rentals today at 416.896.5640 for their easy, no-hassle service or email richard@easelrentals.com for more detailed information.
