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.

Typical 0% APR




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'
