ARTISTS WANTED

Visual AIDS invites artists to participate in our ninth annual Postcards From the Edge benefit. 

We are looking for artists to donate a 4" x 6" original work on paper for the exhibition and sale. Painting, drawing, photography, printmaking and mixed media are all welcome. 

If you would like to participate, please download submission forms at: http://thebody.com/visualaids/current/postcards2006_artists.html

DEADLINE is postmark Friday, November 10, 2006 (NO late entries)

Postcards From the Edge is a show and sale of original, postcard-sized artworks on paper by established and emerging artists. All artworks are $75 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's important work.

All proceeds supports the programs of Visual AIDS, including the Frank Moore Archive Project, the largest slide library of work by artists with HIV/AIDS, providing professional services, including free photo-documentation of artwork, materials grants to those with low incomes, estate planning services, exhibition opportunities, professional development, advice and advocacy.
