Give the gift of art this festive season

Give something unique and special

this festive season a piece of contemporary visual art or craft purchased using Own Art.

Galleries across Scotland are members of the Own Art scheme.

By offering interest-free loans of £100-£2,000 through Own Art, with repayments made in equal

instalments over a 10-month period, giving or receiving a unique piece of quality contemporary art or craft is made easy. A list of participating galleries is available at the Scottish

Arts Council website: www.scottisharts.org.uk

Look for the pink logo, and give someone a gift to remember.
