Own Art

Buying a piece of art is now easy and affordable. Through ‘Own Art’ you can buy a work of contemporary art at Peacock: a workshop for art, interest-free. You can borrow up to £2,500 or as little as £100, and pay back the loan over ten months.

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 reduces the financial barriers and perceptions of elitism that commonly exist within the art market, by making it easier and more affordable for people to purchase and enjoy original art and craft, regardless of their income and socio-economic background.

Since 2004, the scheme has enabled more than 83,000 customers to get access to the art they love. Delivered through a network of over 300 galleries across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Own Art has so far supported over £75 million of sales of contemporary art and craft to UK customers.
