A GUIDE TO BUYING ARTWORK ON ASP.
1. Go to @artistsupportpledge and click on the tagged artwork ikon (far right above grid) or #artistsupportpledge to see artwork
2. If you find any work you would like to buy click on the artists account, then message the artist for availability and details.
3. Arrange payment directly with the artist. You do not need to contact ASP and we DO NOT use third parties. It’s just buyer and artist.
6. Arrange shipping directly with artist.
It really is that simple.
Top tip: when you find artists you like follow their account and look at their IN VIEW to see who they look at, its a quick way to move across their community.
THANK YOU for supporting our global community of artists and makers.
TIPS FOR COLLECTING
We must learn to see, and see generously. Even artists struggle to ‘see’.
One of the pleasures of buying art is I learning this. We often talk of people with ‘refined taste’. Perhaps a better understanding of seeing is ‘A Generous Eye’. Like everything else, it takes practice, so here’s a few pointers to help.
- Look with curiosity and awareness.
- Enjoy it and expect to be surprised.
- Be patient and look slowly.
- Don’t judge things to be good or bad, just let them spark your mind and see where they take you.
- Remember that art is a gift not an acquisition. We merely pay for the artist to have enough freedom to create more gifts.
- An artist needs food, materials to make and the hope that what they do matters. Your support is always greater than the value paid.
Thank you buyers, for your support and generosity. We move in uncertain times, but with a generous eye, all things are possible.
