Our Services
At the Butterworth Gallery, we believe that owning original art should be accessible to everyone. That's why we're proud to offer Own Art, a fantastic interest-free loan scheme designed to help you bring home the art you love. If you are dreaming of a owning a stunning Scottish landscape painting by Howard Butterworth or Mary Louise Butterworth, then the 'Own Art' scheme might be for you.
Own Art is a national initiative, supported by Creative Scotland, that makes buying contemporary art by living artists affordable - from the gallery to your home with 0% finance. The scheme allows you to spread the cost of your purchase over several months, completely interest-free. This means you can invest in a painting from our artists without a significant upfront payment on terms that suit you.
We offer two convenient interest-free payment plans through Own Art:
10-Month Interest-Free: For those who prefer a shorter repayment period, you can spread the cost of your chosen original artwork (£100-£2500) over 10 equal monthly instalments.
20-Month Interest-Free: For larger investments (Over £2,500) or a more relaxed repayment schedule, our 20-month interest-free option provides even greater flexibility.
The Own Art process is simple and we are on hand to help guide you through the process.
Step 1. First, you will need to check you are eligible for the scheme.
Own Art is available to all permanent UK residents over the age of 18, subject to status.
This means that you must be able to meet one of the following criteria in order to apply for a loan:
If you do not meet one of these criteria but are married to or living with a partner who does, then you may still apply provided that your partner is happy for their income details to be included on your application form.
Step 2. Once you have decided on your painting, let us know that you'd like to apply for Own Art to finance your purchase. Contact Sarah on enquiries@thebutterworthgallery.com or Tel: 07379140231
