What is Own Art?

Own Art is a programme run in partnership with Arts Council England that is designed to make buying art easy and accessible; letting you spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months with exclusive interest-free finance.

How does it work?

When we say 'art' you might think of expensive paintings and imposing sculpture, but in reality it covers a broad range of original, handmade art and craft. At The Biscuit Factory this includes jewellery and homewares, as well as paintings, prints, drawings, and sculpture to glassware, ceramics, jewellery, furniture, and textiles.

You can borrow between £100 and £25,000 meaning you can use the scheme to part finance a larger value purchase, or you can even combine the costs of multiple pieces from just £10 per month.

So... if you're on the hunt for homewares and have fallen in love with multiple pieces from our Craft Gallery, maybe you're looking for that perfect birthday or anniversary gift in our Jewellery cabinets or perhaps you're looking to buy that one off special artwork: Own Art helps you spread the cost without any extra fees!
