First Thursday Reviews 31

Had a great experience with Callum at First Thursday in purchasing a small oil painting from british artist Simon Davis. Appreciated his flexibility to use DHL for shipping to ensure a smooth Italian customs processing and the work was packaged carefully and arrived in perfect condition. Would buy art from First Thursday again in the future.

My experience with First Thursday was more than great!
I faced some issues with the Greek customs receiving my order and Callum was there from the first moment, trying to find a solution for me, with not only an excellent professionalism but also with a personal care about my issue that I couldn’t expect!
Honestly I feel a need to thank Callum and First Thursday in public for all their attention and care and of course I can’t wait for my next experience with them!

As a fan of Phil Hale’s work I bought a print through First Thursday. The communication throughout the process was perfect. The print arrived shortly after ordering in perfect condition. The print itself is on high-quality artpaper and the reproduction is beautiful. It was also accompanied with a Certificate of authenticity.
It is being framed right now and can’t wait to have it on my wall!

I've been an admirer of the work of Phil Hale and his signature character Johnny Badhair for 30 odd years, the chance to get a limited print featuring said character could not be missed. First Thursday have produced a beautiful reproduction of the painting, rich, luminescent inks on heavy stock, signed by the artist. It is fabulous to behold! I thought the mailing tubes I use to send out my own prints were pretty damned sturdy but they are as tinfoil to the steel panzer tank plating the Hale print arrived in! Special thanks to Callum for accommodating my needs regarding delivery, cheers!

As a fan of Phil Hale for almost 20 years, I was delighted at the chance of purchasing a signed print of one of his works. The clear communication from Callum throughout the delivery process was a huge plus. The print arrived when expected and in top condition. Looking forward to making more purchases in the future!

First Thursday provided me with the incredible opportunity to finally acquire a piece by Phil Hale, an artist I’ve admired for over 25 years. The experience was exceptional from beginning to end. Callum was outstanding, ensuring clear communication at every step and making the entire process effortless and stress-free. I look forward to acquiring more pieces through them in the future.

Working with First Thursday was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Callum responded immediately when I signed up for the newsletter and offered a virtual viewing of the artist’s work, which allowed me to appreciate the intricate details before making my decision. When my artwork arrived, I was blown away by the presentation. The framing was exquisite, with the paper seemingly floating inside the glass, casting a delicate shadow that only enhanced the artwork’s enchantment. The packaging was meticulous, wrapped with care, and included a handwritten note from Callum along with an artist’s certificate, making the entire experience feel like an unexpected gift. Really felt like Christmas morning, I hope to reach out again soon(:

Purchased a piece from First Thursday recently and was very happy with the process. Prompt shipping and the work arrived safely without issue!

It was an extremely easy process working with Callum and purchasing a painting through First Thursday. Very prompt with answering questions and always proactive. Can not recommend enough.

Was my first online purchase of an original artwork from a Japanese artist which I discovered recently. My experience with First Thursday was excellent as the representative (Callum) kept me informed throughout the process. As I was away from home, he ensured that the delivery would be adjusted to my schedule. It arrived quickly (international shipping) in perfect shape with a personalized note from the representative and the artist himself. What a treat! Hope to repeat the experience soon and would highly recommend this company.

I have had a great experience. Outstanding quality and attention and care of the highest standard. Highly recommended

Purchasing artwork through First Thursday was perfect from start to finish. The communication was swift and clear, so no need for a lot of back and forth. I was able to purchase an original painting from one of my all-time-favorite artists and communicate with him directly about some of the process and history. It arrived quickly (international shipping), well crated and in perfect shape. Amazing opportunity and personalized service.

Callum was fantastic to communicate with, the whole ordering experience was great and I'm extremely happy with what I received

Great customer service throughout the whole process, with regular updates from the purchase up to the arrival. The print quality was top notch and accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.
All over a great customer experience.

First Thursday made it possible for me to purchase a sketch from one of my favorite artists. The sketch was packaged up beautifully, arrived safely, and was stamped and signed by the artist. This really made my day! Thanks First Thursday!

Excellent service, updated throughout the transaction, everything made very simple and the product is beautiful. I'd highly recommend using First Thursday.

I am very satisfied with the professional service and communication, thank you for the speed of shipping and for making it possible to acquire a great work of art.

A total pleasure to deal with First Thursday. From seeing a work on Instagram to having it on my wall, I have found the buying process seamless and swift. They're doing something incredibly worthwhile - supporting artists in their practice while connecting them to collectors. I am delighted with the first work I purchased. Another one is arriving soon. Thanks to regular, thoughtful communications regarding new work, I know they won't be the last.

Had a very personalised and smooth experience with First Thursday. Not only did it help me discover amazing new artists; the purchasing process was something you don't typically experience in the world of art. Easy payment, fast (international) shipping, great packaging and a personal note from Callum. Great from beginning to end, can't wait to see where this journey brings me next :)

I bought a beautiful, witty sketch from Clover Godsal via First Thursday! The platform was slick to use and personal. I love living with the sketch !
