You can borrow up to £2,000, or as little as £100, and pay back the loan in 10 monthly instalments – completely interest free.
The scheme will be available through selected Own Art member galleries at Buy Art Fair this year, and you will also find it in over 250 galleries across England and Scotland. To find a gallery near you please visit www.ownart.org.uk
To be eligible to apply for an Own Art loan you need to be:
