The #artistsupportpledge

It's such a good opportunity to buy great work from credible emerging artists at ridiculously low prices that I thought I had to post. The initiative, set up by the artist Matthew Burrows, has encouraged artists to dig out old work, reassess current work and make new work – all available for £200 or less. There are some incredible deals to be had – it feels wrong that artists are letting work go for such low prices, but then as they sell more and more, they are being sustained. And every time an artist reaches £1000 in sales they pledge to buy the work of another artist for £200. This creates a small but dynamic market where all can contribute whatever their level of success. Please, for your own sakes, go to Instagram and search for #artistsupportpledge


There is now a lot of work on there, so as a start I’d recommend the accounts of:
