Postcards From the Edge is a Visual AIDS benefit show and sale of original, postcard-sized works on paper by established 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 receive a list of all participating artists, they don't know who created which piece until purchased. All proceeds support the programs of Visual AIDS. Visual AIDS utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving the legacy -- because AIDS IS NOT OVER!   ATTENTION ARTISTS: All participating artists are invited to attend the PREVIEW PARTY for FREE. No need to RSVP; ALL names will be held at the door. Free admission is for participating artist ONLY; additional guests can purchase admission ($85) at the door. After the event, artists will be contacted about the collector of their work in 4-6 weeks. Questions? Click here.
