Own Art

Seacourt Print Workshop is proud to be a member of the Own Art Scheme, the simple and affordable way to buy art and craft.

What is Own Art?

 
Own Art is a national initiative supported by Arts Council Northern Ireland dedicated to making the purchase of art easy, accessible and affordable to the general public by providing interest-free loans.

You can apply for a minimum of £100 to a maximum of £25,000, completely interest free, and is paid back over a period of either 10 to 20 months. Your loan can be used to finance a small part of your purchase, or used to finance multiple items. The best part–  you can take your purchase home with you straight away.

How does it work?

 
Decided on something you’d like to buy? Let us know and we can go through the application with you in person, or via email at your own leisure. The application process takes just ten minutes, and you’ll know instantly whether you’ve been approved.

You will receive a welcome letter from Own Art’s finance partner Novuna Personal Finance and following this your 10 monthly payments will be collected from your account by direct debit. This usually starts about four weeks after you’ve made your purchase.

To be eligible for an Own Art loan, you’ll have to be a minimum of eighteen years of age, a resident of the United Kingdom for more than three years, subject to status. Eligibility criteria is as follows:

• If you aren’t working but are married or living with a partner who meets the above criteria you may still apply as long as consent is given to use their employment details on your application form.
