We hope you can be a part of Postcards From the Edge. The event’s
success depends on the generosity of artists like you. Last year, we
set new records with over 1400 postcards submitted! Participating
artists are invited to attend the Pre-view Party, Sunday, October 16
from 6-9 PM for free. After the benefit, Visual AIDS provides
information about the collector of your work or returns unsold work.
Please allow 4-6 weeks for processing.
Postcards From the Edge is a show and sale of original, postcard-sized
artworks on paper by established and emerging artists. All artworks are
$50 and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The works are signed
on the back and exhibited so that the artists' signatures cannot be
seen. While buyers have a list of all participating artists, they don't
know who created which piece until it is purchased and the signature is
revealed. A collector might end up with a work by a famous artist or
one they don't yet know. Either way, they walk away with a great piece
of art while supporting Visual AIDS important work.
Founded in 1988 , Visual AIDS promotes AIDS awareness through the
visual arts. Two Visual AIDS initiatives, the Red Ribbon and Day
Without Art, have become icons of AIDS awareness. Visual AIDS also
supports artists with HIV/AIDS through direct professional services
including free photo-documentation of artwork, the largest slide
library of work by artists with HIV/AIDS, materials grants to those
with low incomes, estate planning services, exhibition opportunities,
professional development, advice and advocacy. For more information on
Visual AIDS programs, please visit http://www.visualAIDS.org
