• Financing & tax leverage

Net cost down to 50%, sometimes more.

Most businesses don't realize that original artwork by living Canadian artists is 100% deductible the year of acquisition under federal DIEP rules. Combined with provincial programs, your real cost drops significantly.

DIEP federal deduction

100% deductible the year of purchase, on original works by living Canadian artists, minimum $200.

1% for art program

For renovations of public or mixed-use buildings, 1% of project cost can be allocated to art with provincial backing.

SDC & BID grants

Local business associations often subsidize facade and entryway beautification, up to 50% of artist fees.
