Be Creative. Be Safe. Postcards From Kentuckiana Art for AIDS

Artists Wanted

Kentuckiana Art for AIDS invites artists to participate in our first annual visual AIDS – Be Creative. Be Safe. Postcards 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. We are pleased to announce our host gallery is David Green / STARViN-ARTiST.

DEADLINE is postmark Saturday, November 1, 2008 (NO late entries)

Be Creative. Be Safe. Postcards 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 of Kentuckiana Art for AIDS’s important work.

If you would like to participate, please contact us for Artists Submission Forms.
