About Us
Action Artwork Rental
The idea for Action Artwork Rental came about in the mid-2000s, when previous owner Joey Sisson saw a need for local and affordable cleared artwork in Atlanta, Georgia. Joey spent the next few years sharing his idea with his wife and a few close friends. As the film industry continued to grow in the Southeast, Joey knew he needed to turn his idea into reality. A few months later Joey’s wife, Carey Hall, joined the team and by March of 2014 they had formed their LLC. They worked hard to secure highly talented artists and ensure their business model is one that services the film industry, but also protects the artist and his/her artwork. After four years of managing both AAR and their own personal careers they decided to step back from AAR and pass the torch to long-time friends and co-workers Zombie Cat Productions, owned by Molly Coffee and Victoria Coffee, and Second Hand Interesting Things, owned by Nik Morgan. They will continue the previous owners' policy of renting the pieces out on a weekly basis, with artists receiving a portion of the revenue each time their works are rented. We here at AAR look forward to seeing our company grow within the film industry and being a part of the art community in Atlanta.
