Artists Supporting Artists - I'm spending 10% of my income to help other artists survive
I personally pledge to spend 10% of the value of all new commissions or sales on other artists' work, until this crisis is over. Many other artists have joined the pledge. If we all support each other that money just keeps circulating. It's a win win. #artistssupportingartists
The artist's life is a precarious one. Most are living hand to mouth. One sale can keep a career going. That is more true now than you can imagine. Many of us do not have large reserves. The longer this goes on the more studios will close, the more artists will give up. We will need the arts and culture to drive the reconstruction of a better world. Let not our world be culturally impoverished by the loss of artistic talents to uncreative jobs. Please support the artists you know or collect, your local artists and the arts in general. If you can afford it, please make purchases, commissions or donations. If you buy from me know that I'll be immediately buying from other artists to help them get through too
