The Artists’ Support Pledge was initiated by Matthew Burrows at the Matthew Burrow Studio. The aim behind the Pledge was to support many artists who found themselves without work, teaching, technical support, and gallery work. Many exhibitions and normal art sales disappeared overnight.
The concept was simple. Artists post an image of their work on Instagram which they were willing to sell for no more than £200 then, when they reached £1,000 they ‘pledge’ to buy another artist’s work to help support them. A great way for artists to support themselves and to give the art buying community a great incentive to invest in these difficult times.
I was delighted that my pledge paintings ‘flew off the shelves’ and I was able to support two other artists as well have to provide a number of new homes for my works.
