Helping customers buy the art they love with the Own Art scheme

Own Art makes arts and crafts more affordable and accessible 

We're proud to partner with Creative United to deliver the Own Art initiative, which allows galleries to offer interest free finance options to its customers. This helps galleries support existing customers while engaging new audiences who may not otherwise be able to afford art.

The initiative supports the entire creative community, including galleries, artists and customers, helping to make the process of buying art truly joyful.

Discover more about our seventeen-year partnership with Creative United, and how we work with them to deliver the Own Art initiative to their network of 300 galleries.

Encourage more people to buy creative work

Spending thousands of pounds on a piece of art isn't always possible. Over the last 17 years we've offered finance to over 79,000 customers looking to bring the beauty of art into their home, with 13% of customers first time art buyers.

Support galleries of all shapes and sizes

More than 800 galleries have used the Own Art scheme over the years, allowing them to support their artists and reach new customer demographics. We're proud to have achieved a gallery satisfaction rating of 99%, demonstrating our outstanding level of service.

Help artists grow sales and reach new customers

Converting admirers into buyers is one of the toughest challenges for artists. The Own Art initiative provides the opportunity to spread the cost, making arts and crafts more accessible and affordable to customers. This, in turn, increases sales for artists.
