ARTISTS SUPPORT

Artist Support Pledge is an initiative set up by the Sussex-based artist Matthew Burrows, which is offering a self-sustaining lifeline to an ever-expanding number of fellow artists across the world. The concept is simple: artists are invited to post pictures of their works for sale for $200 or less on Instagram using the hashtag #ArtistSupportPledge. Every time an artist makes $1,000 in sales they then pledge to plow back $200 on purchasing the work of another artist using the hashtag. There are no enforcements, it is a system based on trust.
