Artist Support Pledge

One of the exciting things I’ve seen arise out of the Covid-19 pandemic, is how the creative community has pulled together to collectively support each other.

Artist Matthew Burrows came up with the idea of the #ArtistSuuportPledge which has been promoted on Instagram. In his words:

“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many artists around the world 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 @matthewburrowsstudio has instigated the #artistsupportpledge
.
The concept is a simple one. You post images of your work to sell for no more than £200 each (not including shipping.) Anyone can then buy the work. Every time you reach £1000 of sales you pledge to buy another artist's work for £200.

So make a pledge and post your work with the #artistsupportpledge and follow the #. keep updated on news and further opportunities @artistsupportpledge Repost and tell your friends, colleagues and collectors. Stay well and live generously.

I’ve been delighted to get involved with this scheme, and have been listing some of my archive works on Instagram as part of this pledge. Ranging in price from £70 to £200 there are a mix of resin sculptures and small handwoven silk artworks.
