I am participating in the Artist Support Pledge. |
|
Devised by artist Matthew Burrows, the Artist Support Pledge is an initiative meant to help create a global marketplace for artists to sell their work directly from their studios to buyers, keep prices affordable, make art accessible to all, and support each other as we succeed. I am offering up some of my work under this pledge, as you will see from reading the captions on the images above. The work I am offering is unframed, and largely consists of works on paper so that I can ship globally. Each time I reach $1000 in sales, I will purchase a piece from a fellow artist participating in the pledge. I have also decided to try to use my art to help others outside the art community, and I will donate 10% of the sale proceeds of my art in 2020 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
The world is in flux right now. In some ways shrinking, as our human population grows and technology binds us together. In some ways though, we feel small and isolated, adrift and disconnected from each other. Artists are specially trained to observe their world, express what they see, and share their observations with others. Artists forge connections. Art is a profession, for some a vocation, just as much a job as any other. It is our privilege to use our skills for the benefit of our planet and community.
If you are interested in purchasing any of my work, please contact me using one of the social media icons above, or by filling out a contact form here on my website. Some pieces shown here are only available through NOA Gallery of Fine Art in Groton, Massachusetts: noagallery.com .
"THE ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE is a generous culture and dynamic economy in support of artists and makers.
The concept is a simple one, post images of your work to sell for NO MORE (can be less) than $200 (£200, €200, A$300, C$300, ¥20000) each (not including shipping.) Anyone can then buy the work. Every time you reach $1000 (A$1500, C$1500, ¥100,000) of sales you pledge to buy another artist/s work for $200. (A$300, C$300, ¥20000)
So make a pledge and post your work using #artistsupportpledge and follow the #. keep updated on news and further opportunities @artistsupportpledge and www.artistsupportpledge.com
