One of the recent exhibitions I participated in was a postcard art show for the Human Rights Campaign, hosted by the Alexi Era Art Gallery, a new pop surrealism gallery in St. Louis, MO. Below you can see what the show was about, with pictures from the show (courtesy of the Alexi Era Art Gallery)
Yours Truly: 100 Postcards for Human Rights is an awareness and fundraising exhibition for the Human Rights Campaign. The Exhibition will feature 100 artworks on postcards from artists all around the world. On the back of each postcard is a very special message from the featured artist answer this questions: “If you could say one thing to someone living in desperation, what would it be?”. Each answer to this question will be kept a secret until after the postcard has been purchased. All postcards will be priced $5-$50, and available to take home right away showing your support. 100% of Proceeds Donated to the Human Rights Campaign! We aim to raise awareness, bring hope and also create a special connection with our audience.
My work was based on the Greek couple Iphis and Ianthe.
The campaign was a great success, raising $1175 for the organization. Alexi Era Gallery is planning a different show with a similar premise for July, so stay tune to see updates in the near future.
