Own Art is a brilliant scheme from our friends at Arts Council England.
The scheme is designed to make it easy and affordable
for everyone to buy original, high quality contemporary art and craft.
You can borrow up to £2,000, or as little as £100, to be paid back in
equal instalments over a period of 10 months - interest free*.
What can I buy?
You can buy paintings, sculpture, glassware, ceramics, photography, jewellery, furniture and textiles; in fact, you can buy anything by any of the artists that you see here on Visual. We can even help you commission something unique by an artist whose work you particularly admire.
How does it work?
You can apply for an Own Art loan to finance your purchase by spreading the cost over 10 months. You can borrow from £100 to £2,000. The loan amount can be a part-payment towards an item that costs more than £2,000, or you can buy several lower value items at a time with a combined value of up to £2,000 or more. We will take you through the loan application process, which should only take 10 minutes or so.
