Why buy art?

Decor:
The right piece in the right place can do wonders to round out your room. Art can be a conversation piece, an ice breaker; a way to display your taste and aristocracy and elicit comments like, "Oh my, your art, it's just marvelous, darling!"

Emotion:
Art may move you. Certain pieces will speak to you, and you will draw on the emotional energies emanating therefrom! Owning certain works may be requisite for your inner peace.

Investment:
Purchasing pieces by popular painters may be prosperous! As time goes by and an artist's body of work grows in both numbers and popularity, his/her work is increasingly sought after, commanding ever higher prices in the gallery, on the street, or on the auction block. With art, it pays to get in early!

Why buy art by Andrew O'Malley?

But what about investment opportunity? How can you be sure an emerging artist like Andrew won't suddenly throw in the towel, stop creating work, and become a nobody in the heralded art world?

To show his commitment to making art, and developing a prosperous body thereof, Andrew brings you . . .

The Connoisseurs' Club

Few people purchase artwork in bulk, so by committing to a complementary sixth piece, Andrew is enticing his audience to build up their collection over time. This ensures both that Andrew rewards and recognizes his patrons, and that Andrew will continue to create art such to honour his side of the bargain!

It's a win-win situation!

How the Club works

Each time you purchase works from Andrew, it's recorded in his personal database. Your purchase will also be recognized on your very own Connoisseurs' Club Card. Works will be divided into Small, Medium, and Large categories, at Andrew's discretion.

Once you've purchased any combination of five works, Andrew will determine a suitable group from which to choose the complementary sixth piece, based on your past purchases. You'll then get the artwork of your choice, based, of course, on the available works at that time. Can you save your card to redeem at a later date? Maybe -- such sticky details can be discussed when the time comes.

How can you go wrong? You can't! Join the club today!^*
