[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]#artistsupportpledge is an Instagram based campaign started by @matthewburrowsstudio<\/a> so all the links in this article will lead to pages within the Instagram app or the website if you are working on a desktop computer.<\/p>\n

“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many artists have found themselves without work, teaching, technical support, gallery work. Exhibitions and sales have disappeared. In an attempt to help alleviate some of this stress I have instigated the ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE #artistsupportpledge<\/p>\n

The concept is a simple one. Artists post images of their work, on Instagram which they are willing to sell for no more than \u00a3200 each (not including shipping). Anyone can buy the work<\/b>. Every time an artist reaches \u00a31000 of sales, they pledge to spend \u00a3200 on another artist\/s work.<\/p>\n

To make a pledge, post your work with the #artistsupportpledge and follow the # to see everyone else’s work. Keep updated on new opportunities and announcements @artistsupportpledge.<\/p>\n

Repost and tell your friends, colleagues and collectors. Let generosity be infectious.”<\/p>\n

Buyers should browse the work available through the Instagram #artistsupportpledge<\/a> and get in touch with individual artists. Many will already have online shops in place but some may not in which case you should contact the artist to make a buying arrangement.<\/p>\n
