About Rufus Art Rentals

Rufus Art Rentals was established by owner, director and painter Matt Petley-Jones.

Sue and Matt with their inspiration, Rufus himself. We are privileged to be listed as a trusted authorized dealer for the film industry for over 30 years.

Always having a passion for both creating and collecting art, I opened the Petley Jones Gallery in 1986, with a vision of buying and selling works of art of all genres.

The difficulty was that I was much better at accumulating than parting with my purchases,

which over time lead me to form a very large collection of historical and contemporary art.”

Our Inspiration

Rufus

Rufus the pooch joined our family about 6 years ago and as always in the background, whether at the gallery or warehouse, was the inspiration as we looked to specialize our business. Rufus Art Rentals was formed to do just that – dedicate and streamline our focus concentrating specifically to serve the film industry.

Rufus Art Rentals continues an authorized dealer for major studios with an extensive inventory including not only thousands of original modern and vintage works of art and sculpture, but also antiques and collectibles that will no doubt compliment your set dec needs.

When you are in production and the need to pivot on a dime to ensure deadlines are met, we offer a 100% guarantee. Love the art you select but doesn’t meet your set needs? No worries, we will swap it out until you find what does without additional cost.

Budget challenges? Short on time? We are here to make it work, simply give us a call.

Proudly Canadian, serving the film industry since 1986 and at your service.
