The Art Company (Scotland) Ltd
The Art Company (Scotland) Ltd was created out of a desire to bring modern business methods, modern technology and modern customer service to the Scottish art market. It is their belief that the high quality of contemporary Scottish art deserves a modern approach, in order to raise the visibility of Scotland’s artistic talent to its proper place on the world stage.
The company has opened a new exhibition space at 92 Main Street Prestwick. The space will allow them to exhibit some of our larger paintings as well as show new work by the artists that we have in our portfolio. This venue will offer an alternative to the online facility that the company operates.
Unlike many of their competitors, the company own and have in stock all the original artwork they exhibit. They believe this offers customers a more reliable, immediate service, and, furthermore, allows the dealer to give financial support to up-and-coming artists, enabling them to thrive in an increasingly competitive market.
Browse the web site to find some of the most beautiful, powerful, vibrant and thought-provoking paintings being created in Scotland. It is a diverse scene, but the Art Company claims the expertise to offer you both internationally established artists and their younger contemporaries. The company does not sell prints, only originals.
