Commission Something Unique

If you need time to build funds for that perfect artwork, we allow up to 6 months of interest-free payments. With your deposit of at least 1/3, you ensure the piece is yours until you've paid in full. All artworks are retained until fully paid. Please call us to order in this method as it is not currently available online.

Many of our artists will paint or sculpt to your specified needs. This may include portraits, certain size, etc. Depending on the commission, we may provide multiple proposals for you to choose from. The initial design is complimentary. If the design phase is extensive a design fee will be incurred. Please let us know your wishes and we will connect you with the artist(s) that meet your request.

Maintaining Your Art Collection

For all other materials, please contact us. We can help establish best practices that you can implement to clean your artwork yourself, or connect you with trained professionals and conservators that can work on-site to help maintain your collection on a regular basis, or help with highly distressed pieces that need major work.

Pricing and Discounts

The pricing is set by the artist based on their costs and career level. We are an artist-driven organization and take a smaller commission than most galleries. We do not adjust the retail pricing, nor do we bargain as this will only result in devaluing the artist's entire body of work. Valuations are based primarily on the last sold price of a piece. It behooves you as a patron to not buy art that has been severely discounted. Instead support artists you admire and watch your art investment continue to appreciate as your favorite artists climb in acclaim.

Past patrons of Columbine Gallery receive 5% off or free shipping to show our gratitude while maintaining the value of the artwork. This discount does not apply with any other offers, nor for custom commissions. If you have purchased from us in the past, please make us aware of this at the time of your purchase if we haven't already acknowledged this. Should you purchase online, we'll check our database and refund the discount to existing patrons prior to shipping.

On occasion we use coupon codes in advertisements or newsletters for free shipping or a % off. Keep your eyes open! Look for #CouponCode

Reselling Your Artwork

Sorry, we don't purchase artwork. All the artwork on display at Columbine Gallery is consigned by the artists we represent. You may find your collection has out grown your space. We unfortunately cannot consign aftermarket work at this time. We recommend you attempt selling the artwork on your own. Be sure to have your artwork appraised by a certified appraiser. Here are a few resources to consider: Sell Your Art. Chairish, Live Auctioneers, Sotheby's, Art Appraisal, Colorado Appraiser. Once you make room for more art - please check our online store.

Submit Your Work

We are currently at capacity of represented artists. You may send us your qualifications for future consideration by emailing your website or qualifications. Do not bring artwork to the gallery for review.
