Looking to start your art collection? Start With One at The Mill Gallery is the perfect place to jump into the joys of buying original artwork – it’s an exhibition organised specifically for first-time collectors.

Start with One features 45 original artworks, each one priced at £100. It’s that simple – there is no complicated language around the work and no tricky finance options, you can just pick the work you like and take it home for a reasonable price. The show is designed to be approachable and debunks the idea that art collecting must be an exclusive club.

The exhibition itself features a range of styles, mediums and artistic perspectives. There are paintings and prints, figurative and abstract, making for a display that’s varied enough to have something for everyone.

Go ahead and take a look, you might just start your very own art collection!
