Membership schemes supporting creative retailers
We provide membership schemes for music retailers and galleries which sell contemporary art and craft. As part of their membership, we provide access to finance, point of sale material and marketing support. Not only does this give vital support for creative businesses, but also helps support artists, collectors and budding musicians.
