Extended loans

An extended loan is a long-term loan of an artwork from the AFA Art Collection to an external client. Extended loan projects are generally (but not always) site specific, large-scale artworks that require special infrastructure or arrangements. 

While installing an extended loan may require significant investment, each artwork remains a permanent part of the AFA Art Collection, and we hold responsibility for their care and maintenance. Extended loans strengthen AFA partnerships with organizations in our community.
