Own Art

  • “Our gallery is proud to be a member of the Own Art scheme, supported by Arts Council England.

     

    A wide range of works, from paintings, prints, drawings, and sculpture to glassware, ceramics, jewellery, furniture, and textiles may be purchased using the OwnArt scheme. Whatever you decide to buy, it must be made by a living artist, as we want to support the artists of today by encouraging sales of their work to new buyers.

     
    Applying for an Own Art loan
    Credit is subject to status and affordability. Terms and conditions apply.
    To apply all you will need is proof of residence and signature - for example, a driving license. Own Art is available to all UK residents over the age of 18, subject to status. This means that you must be able to meet one of the following criteria in order to be approved for a loan:
    • Working at least 16 hours a week (employed or self-employed)
    • A retired person in receipt of a pension
    • If you are not working but are married to or living with a partner who does meet the above criteria, then you may still apply, provided that your partner is happy for their employment details to be included on your application form.
     
    The loan application process normally takes about 10 minutes and can be completed in the gallery, after which you’ll get an instant decision. Once the application is approved, and you have read, understoood, and signed the agreement you can take your artwork away or it shipping arranged imediately.
