What is Own Art and how do I apply?
Own Art is a national initiative that makes buying contemporary art and craft affordable by providing interest-free credit for the purchase of original work. Own Art is available to all permanent UK residents over the age of 18, subject to status. The application procedure is done through Own Art.
This means that you must be able to meet one of the following criteria in order to apply for a loan:
1. Working at least 16 hours a week (employed or self-employed)
2. A retired person in receipt of a pension
3. A person in receipt of disability allowance
If you do not meet one of these criteria but are married to or living with a partner who does, then you may still apply provided that your partner is happy for their income details to be included on your application form.
