Since 1998, Visual AIDS has produced its annual “Postcards From The Edge”, an exhibition and benefit sale of original, postcard-sized works on paper by established and emerging artists which offers the opportunity to acquire original artwork for just $85! Each piece is exhibited anonymously – the identity of the artist is revealed only after the work is purchased. This supports the activities of Visual AIDS, an organization that produces AIDS-focused contemporary art programs and provides supplies and assistance to artists living with HIV/AIDS. The 16th annual benefit is at Luhring Augustine today and tomorrow. Saturday, January 25 from 10 – 6PM (Buy 4 & get the 5th as a Thank you) Sunday, January 26 from 12 – 4PM (Buy 2 & get the 3rd as a Thank you.) Silent auction bidding through Paddle 8, now through Sunday, January 26 at 4 o’clock. Small works online at Paddle 8. On view at Luhring Augustine.
