We’re proud to be a member of the Own Art scheme, an Arts Council England initiative designed to make owning contemporary art more accessible. With interest-free payments spread over 10 months, you can take home the artwork you love today and pay later, with no added costs. With pieces starting from as little as £10 per month, it’s never been easier to start or grow your own collection.

WHAT IS OWN ART?

Own Art is an Arts Council supported scheme that allows you to purchase an artwork by spreading the cost interest free over 10 monthly payments, helping you to take home the Art you love whilst supporting contemporary Artists.
