Promoting Own Art

When a gallery becomes a member of Own Art it will be listed with all member galleries on the Own Art pages of the Scottish Arts Council's website.
Member galleries will also be expected to promote Own Art through their own marketing material. The Own Art logo can be downloaded for this purpose.

Logos

If you are a member of the scheme, you can download the logo here.   It is extremely important that you read the Visual Identity guidelines which explain how the brand must be used.

There are a range of different format logos available for download. 
To save a logo: Right click and 'save target as' (Windows) or ctrl click and 'download link to disk' (Mac).

Own Art is promoted on a national level in partnership with Arts Council England. Member galleries are expected to include Own Art as part of their own marketing activity.

Hard copies of the `How to Buy Art ’ guide and other marketing materials are available from the Scottish Arts Council Help Desk.
