Culture Label Art Shop and Own Art Loans Launches

jock mooney culture label art!

The art world is bracing for the arrival of Frieze. The rest of us are wondering if it might be time to replace that tatty poster of the kissing couple in Paris we’ve had since college. (Yes.)

For grown-up art (without the grown-up price tag), visit Culture Label’s new online art shop. The gift shop website has just added a selection of original prints, photography, jewellery and design furniture from top contemporary galleries, including Whitechapel Gallery and Studio Voltaire.

Best part: the Own Art scheme (an initiative from Arts Council England and Creative Scotland) will give you an interest-free loan to buy your artwork. Apply online, then pay it back in ten monthly, interest-free installments. All the works are sourced from galleries approved by the Arts Council, so you know you’re onto a good thing. We’ve got our eye on a limited-edition screen print by Adrian Wiszniewski, whose work can be found in the Tate Gallery and MoMA (£200 per month) and the giclee print of Peter Blake’s The Victor (£70 per month).

Available online at culturelabel.com/art, £100-£2,000.
