Artists Wanted
Visual AIDS invites artists to participate in our fifth annual
Postcards from the Edge benefit. We are looking for artists to
create and donate a 4" x 6" work on paper for the exhibition
and sale. Painting, drawing, photography, printmaking and
mixed media are welcomed. The exhibit will be held at Sperone
Westwater Gallery. The one-day event will be Monday, October 28,
2002.

Postcards from the Edge is a show and sale of original,
postcard-sized works on paper by established and emerging artists.
All artworks will be priced at $50 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 the buyers
have a list of participating artists, they don't know who created
which piece. 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 Visual AIDS important
work. All the proceeds support the programs of Visual AIDS.

Visual AIDS effects change in the fight against HIV/AIDS through
exhibitions, events, and publications. The Visual AIDS' Archive
Project supports artists with HIV/AIDS with services including
free photo-documentation of artwork, a slide registry, material
grants, exhibition opportunities, career training, advice and
advocacy. For more information, please visit our web site:

If you are interested in participating please send SASE to Visual
AIDS. We will send you a Postcards from the Edge package,
including submission forms and a blank postcard from Canson-
Talens, Inc.
