# artist support pledge
Looking forward to taking part in the Artist Support Pledge. I have reduced three paintings as part of this and looking forward to seeing where things go. The movement was started by Matthew Burrows to support artists through the coronavirus pandemic. This viral initiative aims to encourage artists around the world to support each other by buying and selling work. The concept is simple: I pledge to buy £200 worth of other artists’ work who are taking part in the challenge when I sell £1000 worth of pieces. Anyone can buy my work as part of this cause - not just artists.
