HOW MUCH CAN I BORROW?

LOANS £100 - £25,000

Own Art loans allow you to borrow from as little as £100 up to a maximum of £25,000 for the purchase of works of art by living artists.

There is no limit on the number of times you can use Own Art, but we recommend that you don't apply for more than one loan at a time. Each loan application is subject to a credit check, and your application may be declined if you have not yet already established a repayment record for an existing Own Art loan, or if the finance company considers that the total amount of credit you are asking for is too high in relation to your income.

The minimum you can borrow is £100 (monthly repayment of £10), but this can be used to cover a group of lower value items whose combined total adds up to £100 or more.

LOANS £2,500 - £25,000

If you would like to pay over a longer period than 10 months, you can use an Own Art loan as a part payment or use our Pay by Finance scheme to borrow up to £15,000 over up to 24 months.

Please note that you cannot apply for multiple Own Art loans to cover the costs of a single purchase.

WHAT CAN I BUY?

Own Art loans are available for the purchase of contemporary art and craft of any kind, and in any media.

That means you can choose more or less anything you want from paintings, prints, drawings and sculpture, to glassware, ceramics, jewellery, furniture and textiles.

If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, or if the work you wanted to buy has been sold to someone else, you might want to consider commissioning an artist to produce something especially for you.  Just ask the team for more information
