What is Own Art?
The Sanctuary Studio & Gallery offer the Own Art scheme as an affordable way to purchase your artwork. Own Art breaks the payment of an artwork down into IO interest-free monthly payments.
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.
Payment with Own Art can be accessed by contacting the gallery for an application form.
