Suffolk Craft Society joins the Own Art scheme

 

We are pleased to announce that one of the initiatives of our new Chair Juliet Bowmaker has been to sign SCS up to the Own Art scheme. 

 

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 69,000 customers to get access to the art they love. Delivered through a network of over 320 galleries across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, Own Art has so far supported £65million of sales of contemporary art and craft to UK customers.
