>> Dear Artist,
>>
>> Visual AIDS invites artists to participate in our seventh annual Postcards
>> From the Edge benefit. We are pleased to announce that our host gallery this
>> year will be Brent Sikkema. The event will be Sunday, December 5, 2004.
>>
>> Postcards From the Edge is a show and sale of original, postcard-sized
>> artworks on paper by established and emerging artists. All the proceeds
>> support the programs of Visual AIDS. 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 until it is purchased and the signature is revealed. A collector
>> might end up with a work by a famous artist or by someone they don't yet
>> know. Either way, they walk away with a great piece of art while supporting
>> Visual AIDS's important work.
>>
>> To participate, please send a 6" x 9" SASE to:
>>
>> Visual AIDS
>> 526 West 26th Street #510
>> New York, NY 10001
>>
>> For more information or to download the submission forms, go to:

>> Deadline is Saturday, November 15, 2004. One submission per artist.

>> Thanks for your support!
