Silent Auction of small works by Larissa Bates, Nicole Eisenman, Harmony Hammond, David Humphrey and Marc Swanson.

Postcards from the Edge is an exhibit and benefit sale of over a thousand one-of-a-kind postcard-size works of art by established and emerging artists. The fun twist about the Postcards from the Edge benefit is that all artwork is exhibited anonymously. The works are signed on the back only and though viewers receive a list of all participating artists, they don't know who created which piece until after purchased! It makes for a fun guessing game, but also puts all the artwork on an even playing field, whether you show at a blue chip gallery or just graduated from art school...you don't know who you might be showing next to or whos art collection you might end up in!  All proceeds support the programs of Visual AIDS.

Where: Francesco Fino Atelier, Grand Concourse of the Plaza Hotel, One West 58th Street, New York, NY 10019
Contact:  Sue Phillips (917) 449-1134

*The $35.00 registration fee may be applied toward your Custom Perfume purchase of $110.00 or more.  This special ”insiders” Fashion’s Night Out price is a $25.00 savings off our regular entry price of $135.00.  20% of net proceeds will be donated to Visual AIDS.
