About Us
Own Art is a Creative United initiative operated in partnership with Arts Council England, Creative Scotland and Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
The aims of the scheme are:
- To enable more people to live with the art they love
- To promote the presentation and sale of high quality works of art through a network of visual arts venues and galleries across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland
- To support contemporary artists by encouraging increased sales of work across a breadth of practice
Own Art was launched in England in 2004 and to date has been used by over 47,000 people for the purchase of contemporary art and craft valued in excess of £39m.
