The 'Art Money' Service Gives Loans To Help You Buy Art

If you've ever been to an art exhibit and found a piece of art that you really like, but realized to your disappointment that you can't afford it right now, you might just appreciate a new Australian startup called Art Money.

This appropriately named service makes it easier than ever for people to purchase art in galleries, by giving them access to interest-free loans, with art buyers allowed to apply for loans online. The loans, which can amount to between $675 and $50,000, let people buy art from participated exhibitions and galleries, with loans approved or denied in a matter of minutes.

By helping fund art purchases, the Art Money services benefits art lovers as well as artists who would prefer people not just to admire their work but to purchase it and take it home.
