Own
Art to take home
The Own Art scheme is designed
to make it easy and affordable for everyone to buy contemporary works of art
and craft including paintings, photography, sculpture, glassware and furniture.
You can borrow up to
£2,000, or as little as £100, and pay back the loan in 10 monthly
instalments - interest free.
Arts Council England aims to
put the arts at the heart of national life. One of the ways we do this is to
encourage people to live with art they love. We also want to help artists live
by their creative output and support galleries who sell high quality
contemporary art.

How do I Own Art
from Tregoning Contemporary?
Find
something that you want to buy. You can then apply for an Own Art loan to
finance your purchase by spreading the cost over 10 months.
To be eligible to apply for a
loan you need to be: - Over 18 years old
- A permanent UK resident
- In possession of a bank or
building society account that can operate direct debit payments
You will also need to bring
two proofs of identification with you - one for proof of signature, such as a
debit or credit card, and the other for proof of address. This could be a bank
statement, utility bill or driver's licence.
We will take you through the
loan application process which should only take 10 minutes or so. If your
application is successful, you'll be able to sign the agreement and take the
work away with you immediately.
How much can I borrow?
Loans are available up to
£2,000 or as little as £100. The loan amount can be a part-payment
towards an item that costs more than £2,000. Or you can buy several lower
value items at a time with a combined value of up to £2,000 or more.
The amount you borrow is then
paid back over 10 months in equal instalments interest free.
There is no administrative
charge or handling fee when you take out the loan so you will never be paying
more for your purchase than the ticket price.

'if you can afford it, the
best way to engage with art is to buy it and live with it, to feel passionately
about it, and to care for it'
