We Are Buying Art


We are probably best known for our conservation/restoration work on original art and period frames or our wide selection of custom frames. In addition to these staples of our business we also operate a very successful gallery featuring new and local artists as well as turn of the century works. A shift of focus is being made to increase the reputation and range of the gallery to take us to a level of national recognition. We are constantly looking for art to sell and would encourage anyone with art they wish to part with or realize a profitable return on an investment inquire with us. The gallery will either buy your piece(s) directly or take them on consignment. Please, if you have any art you are looking to part with contact us so that we can have a look. Emails with pictures of your art are the most agreeable means of showing us your piece(s), but we will also look at your art by appointment.

New Artists Wanted!

This coming summer The Gilt Complex is planning an art festival featuring new artists. The event will benefit cancer research through local foundations in South Jersey. We are looking for new artists to come promote and sell their art so as to help them gain some exposure at an established gallery in a very art savvy community all while being a part of a very worthy cause. People attending the event will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite artist at the festival and the artist with the most votes will have their work featured in the gallery for the following two weeks. Any type of art is welcome i.e. paintings, sketches, carvings, etc. in any style. Nothing is too modern or too classic.
We are determining the size and number of covered stations we will have available for the show as well as the dates. July and August are the prime months in our area so we expect to have the festival somewhere in that time frame. Our plan is to keep the costs for space and percentage of any sales that would go to The Gilt Complex at a minimum keeping in mind that the proceeds from both will go to the cancer research. Our goal is to make money for the charitable foundations and help give a boost to some deserving artists as they try and establish themselves. If you are interested in participating or you have any questions you can either email them to thegiltcomplex@gmail.com or through our website www.giltcomplex.com by contacting jason@giltcomplex.com. If possible please send pictures of your work and any information about yourself that you feel appropriate. We hope to hear from you soon!
