Where is Infrequency Arts physically located?

Infrequency Arts is an online art gallery based in Victoria, BC, Canada. We respectfully acknowledge that we are located on the unceded traditional territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən People (Songhees and Esquimalt Nations).

Who is Infrequency Arts?

Infrequency was established in 2001 by Canadian artists Jamie Drouin and Lance Austin Olsen to offer our extensive catalogue of visual and sound-based artworks direct from our studios.

What does ‘Original Print’ mean?

Original prints are the final intended format and medium of an artwork. By contrast, a painting that has been photographed and offered in print format is a reproduction, or simply ‘print’.

Original prints usually involve the artist working on a surface (ie: wood, copper, lino) or digital file, and then carefully transferring the resulting image to paper by hand, or by using a variety of presses or printers. The edition, or number of prints produced, are finally signed and numbered by the artist.

Do you accept submissions from artists?

Large-scale artworks (over 20 inches) will be safely rolled and packaged in a sturdy mailing tube.

Will I pay import taxes & duties?

Any additional import fees, taxes, or duties are the sole responsibility of the customer. The government of the country where your order is delivered determines custom fees. The declared value on the parcel will be the total of your purchase, minus shipping.
