About Affordable Art
Written by the company
AffordableArt.com is a new space dedicated to helping you find extraordinary, beautiful, original artworks for your home. Reflecting the same ethos as our sister brand, Affordable Art Fair, our aim is to democratise the art world and empower people who have never purchased art before to do so, because we believe everyone should be able to own art.
It was with this aim of making contemporary art accessible to everyone that Will Ramsay founded the Affordable Art Fair in 1999. Since then, our fairs have introduced thousands of people to the pleasure of collecting quality contemporary art in a fun, inspiring and informative environment.
In 2017 we introduced our online marketplace, connecting art lovers with over 200 galleries around the world, 365 days a year. After 5 years of growth, at the start of 2022 we embarked on a new chapter as we moved our online marketplace to its own site, establishing AffordableArt.com and marking the beginning of an exciting new venture.
With over 30,000 original contemporary paintings, sculptures, photographs and prints available to buy today priced between £50-£6,000, our online marketplace makes choosing original, contemporary, extraordinary art for your home easy.

Superb
Superb. Delighted with the picture I had framed.
I had ideas of a particular colour frame but it was suggested to try a different colour altogether. This highlighted the colours in the painting.
I cannot recommend the company enough.

First contact with Steam Gallery
The immediate response by Steam Gallery was excellent, delivery of the picture was both timely and safely handled.

I paid £735 for a crooked canvass!
I paid £735 for a painting and took it to a professional for framing, who advised that it is going to cost a substantial amount of extra money to frame it as the canvass is misaligned. I don’t expect to spend this much on art and have an imperfectly aligned product.

good after sale service
when i was wondering what has happened after purchase as i did not received any information from the Galley, staff from Affordable Art proactively followed the shipment for me.
If the follow up could be a regular scheduled one, say every 1 week it would be best

Easy way to buy art
Easy way to find a print I was searching for - purchase system was painless (apart from parting with the money). Good communications from all parties and print arrived by courier well packaged and promptly. No issues at all and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again

outrageous shipping costs
I bought a photo (art) for €584 and was charged just under €174 for shipping. The photo came in a cardboard tube, which couldn't have cost much to ship. Afterwards, however, I received an invoice from the freight company for import duties and expenses of just under €71.
I think it is simply outrageous to charge such a high price for shipping when, without any indication, there are also considerable import costs.
I consider this to be dubious.

Hi Mathias,
Many thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us about your your recent order, we're very sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience with us and that you find the cost of shipping prohibitive.
As we are a marketplace, all artworks sold on AffordableArt.com are dispatched directly from the gallery, so the prices and the shipping destinations depend on where they are based in relation to the customer. As well as the actual shipping cost which takes into account the dimensions and weight of the artwork, they may need to factor in packaging, and any insurance into their shipping prices.
In the instance that you come across some art you would like to purchase where the delivery cost is discouraging you, we are very happy for you to contact us, as the gallery may be willing to discuss this further. This can be done by visiting the artwork page and clicking the 'Enquire about this piece' underneath the 'Buy Now' button.
Regarding the import charge, kindly note that all international shipments may be subject to additional import taxes and customs duties upon arrival to the destination country.
We do communicate this clearly at checkout, but apologise if this wasn't clear to you at the time of placing your order.
We would very much like to rectify this for you, and are in the process of reaching out to the gallery for more information about the shipping cost you were charged for this particular order. Please be assured that a member of our Customer Service team will contact you to resolve this as a matter of urgency.
Best wishes,
The Affordable Art Team
Slow to arrive
Affordable Art itself is very good but the gallery was very slow to deliver the painting and gave very little information about when we would see it. I had to chase it up twice. In contrast, the money left my account almost immediately, no lingering in pending.

India Brown is a dream to work with
I recently purchased a piece by Fernando Daza and I am absolutely obsessed! The Affordable Art's consultant who helped me - India Brown- was so nice, so helpful, and made sure that everything was sorted exactly how we discussed. Would absolutely by another piece from Affordable Art again
