Here at Map Acte 3 we understand that, in interior design, one size does not always fit all. Therefore, we have made it a point to match the versatility of our line with the versatility of our publishing options. As a result, the size, substrate, and finish of most art works can be customized to meet your design needs. As long as the "Customize" button appears on the product item page, you can custom design the art work for your design space.

Oversized art work can be custom printed, in sizes up to 48 x 96" on Plexiglas, to fill a larger wall space. Art work can also be customized to fit any wall space, as the composition of an art work can be altered from landscape to square to portrait.

To add interest to an art work, it can be broken up into multiple segments to be hung together.

If you find an art work you love, but need the colors to match those chosen for accents in the room, we can match the color in the art work to any Pantone color.

Watch this video to see how you can custom design your artwork!

You ordered your customized plexiglas piece. You eagerly awaited it’s arrival. Finally, you open the door to a big cardboard box. What now? 

You may be excited to have received your unique Plexiglas print, but you may also be experiencing difficulty moving your Plexiglas piece from a box on your doorstep to an artwork on your wall.

I’d like to help facilitate this process. Follow these 10, easy steps to unwrap a fresh, new look for any space.

Before you begin, it may be helpful to note that you will need scissors, an open space, and possibly another person to help you.

1. Clear a space. This box in which you will receive your Plexiglas piece is big, and the artwork itself is even bigger. Give yourself room to unwrap the piece.

When you receive your box, it will look something like this.

2. Cut through the tape that holds one side of the box together.

3. Open the flaps that conceal the work within the box. Inside, you will find a smaller box of cardboard, which is wrapped around the artwork itself.

4. Hold the wings of the unwrapped side of the box open, and pull the smaller cardboard box out of the larger cardboard box in which it is wrapped. This may be a two-person job. To make this easier, have one person pull the smaller, inner cardboard box, while the other pulls the larger, outer one.

5. Lay the smaller cardboard box on the floor, in your open space, making sure to keep the side completely covered by cardboard facedown.

6. Open the flaps of the cardboard that are holding the artwork, to expose all of the bubble wrap. Once you complete this, you will find the artwork to be wrapped in bubble wrap with foam securing the edges.

7. Take off the tape that seals the bubble wrap around the Plexiglas piece. You will find this around the edges of the painting, just before the foam on the edges.

8. Remove the bubble wrap from the Plexiglas piece. At this point, it may help to carefully bring the painting upright, so that the bubble wrap can be removed from the entire work.

9. Remove the sheet of paper that covers the front of the artwork. This will expose the plastic layer that protects the Plexiglas from scratches.

10. Carefully peel this protective layer from the surface of the artwork. It helps to begin at one corner, and then to work your way down and across the work. Be careful not to scratch the work during or after this process.

Once these steps have been completed, your Plexiglas piece will be ready to hang! Attached to the back of the piece of Plexiglas, you will find a wooden frame that should be used in order to hang your work of art.

Unwrap the crisp clarity offered by any Plexiglas artwork to brighten up your space.

This 4th of July, as I dance around with shining sparklers, and look up at the sky, illuminated by flaming colors red, white, and blue, I’d like to celebrate what truly makes America unique. After all, isn’t that what birthdays are for?

Yes, I do love celebrating the 4th of July with a great meal among friends and family, and relish in waving our flag of stars and stripes with pride. I do love baseball and barbecues - both as American as apple pie. Yet, what I love most about America is the set of values we stand for, our freedoms and rights. These timeless values, declared over 200 years ago, are still relevant today. This Independence Day I would like to celebrate them. This Independence Day I am most thankful for freedom of speech, for freedom of expression.

This liberty is what has given amazing artists the ability to show the world what they feel, and what they believe. This liberty is the foundation of our company. Here, we believe that everyone’s voice has a right to be heard, and through our art publishing process, we help artists speak out, and tell their stories. We believe that, just as artists have a right to show their work to the world, the world has a right to see these works. Because we believe this so strongly, our mission is not only to assist artists as they broadcast their message, but  we are helping people see and experience what these artists have to say. We are “democratizing art.” Each person has the right to surround himself, or herself, with beauty. Each person has the right to own beautiful art.

MAP ACTE 3 aims to facilitate the realization of these liberties for each person, “from sea to shining sea” and beyond. Because we believe in the red, white, and blue, we believe in art for me and art for you.

This is our American Dream. What's yours?

Saturday marked the beginning of the summer season. The sun’s rays shone the longest they will all year, welcoming this new season of sun, sand, and surf. As spring became summer, and I traded my sweaters for sundresses, I realized I wasn’t the only one celebrating the sunshiny season. Artists like Nicolas Le Beuan Bénic have created works of art that capture the beauty of these summer months. His newest collection of beach scenes depicts the simplicity and sweetness of summer, with soft representations of beach-goers on the seaside. These cool seascapes are fresh, decorative pieces that liven up any beach house, bringing the feel of summer to your home long after the leaves begin to turn. You can find Le Beuan Bénic's works, and other summer seascapes on our website: http://mapacte3.com/index.php/
