Second-hand Artwork in MK
Posted by DeviceResident4340@reddit | miltonkeynes | View on Reddit | 10 comments
I'm looking to buy some pre-loved/used artwork/paintings in MK. Something that's affordable. Any suggestions on where to look? Would love to hear about any hidden gems or spots you've had luck with.

Maybe MK college students will sell work?

Didn't consider that I will check.

I know it's a different time, but my grandparents bought artwork from students who were going round the city knocking doors like 40 years ago.
But students likely need money and may be willing to sell, not sure how you'd contact them directly but worth messaging the college directly and giving them your email address or something
Then at least they can offer it to their classes to contact you

I like the idea, approaching them would be an issue. Will do some searches to see if something pops up.

Email or ring the college and ask to speak to the art teachers

Hey, you could check out the MK Gallery. They might be able to help. I've also seen some art pieces sold in charity shops from time to time.

Didn't consider charity shops before, but I'll visit some of them now.

Sounds silly but go check Age concern and Willen hospice on Kiln Farm. Both places have lots of framed prints and paintings
