Perma Locum / For artists

Your work, in the rooms that matter.

Perma Locum places original work in homes, offices and hotels, where it is lived with every day and seen by the people who collect.

Why Perma Locum

We work with artists as partners.

Original work spends its life in rooms, not in storage. We find the right homes, offices and venues for it, and we look after it while it's there.

What you get

Made to be lived with.

Seen every day

Your work in real rooms, in front of the people who collect.

Placed with intention

Matched to spaces and people who will value it, not just anyone with a wall.

A partner, not a platform

Represented thoughtfully and kept informed, with one person to talk to.

A path to a sale

When someone falls for a piece they live with, it can become theirs.

FAQ

Good to know.

Is the roster open to everyone?
The roster is curated, so not every submission is a fit. We look at everything we receive and reply personally.
What should I send?
A handful of images of recent work, a short note about your practice, and a link to your website or Instagram if you have one.
Who owns the work while it's placed?
You do, until a piece is acquired. We agree the terms with you in writing before any work goes out.
How do I get paid?
You earn when your work is rented or acquired. We set out how that works, clearly and in writing, before we begin.
Who looks after the work?
We handle delivery, installation and care while a piece is placed, and we keep you informed.
I'm not in Los Angeles. Can I still apply?
Yes. Tell us where you're based and we'll talk through what works.
