Postcards From the Edge is a show
and sale of original, postcard-sized works on paper by established and
emerging artists. Famous in the art world as the most exciting and
affordable way to build a collection of work by internationally
renowned artists, as well as young and emerging artists, all works are
sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The works are signed on the
back and exhibited so the artists' signatures cannot be seen. While
buyers have a list of participating artists, they don't know who
created which piece until purchased. A collector might end up with a
work by a famous artist or someone they don't know yet. Either way,
they walk away with a great piece of art while supporting the important
work of Visual AIDS.
All proceeds support the programs of Visual AIDS. Visual AIDS
was founded in 1988, to shift public opinion about--and increase
awareness of--AIDS and the AIDS crisis. Visual AIDS has evolved into
an arts organization with a two-pronged mission: 1) In collaboration
with museums, galleries, artists, schools, and AIDS service
organizations, Visual AIDS produces exhibitions, publications, and
events utilizing visual art to spread the message AIDS IS NOT OVER.;
2) Through the Frank Moore Archive Project, the largest slide library
of work by artists living with HIV and the estates of artists who have
died of AIDS, Visual AIDS historicizes the contributions of visual
artists with HIV while supporting their ability to continue making art
and furthering their professional careers. www.visualAIDS.org
