ARTISTS are being asked to think small for a one-off summer exhibition of postcard art.

Established and emerging artists are being asked to submit their work for the Art to Go exhibition in the Inspired by gallery at the North York Moors National Park Centre in Danby.

The aim is to show how affordable and portable art can be. The postcards will be part of the exhibition for five weeks before being sold off for £25.

Artwork must be submitted no later than July 24 and artists can submit up to ten pieces in any medium from drawings, photographs and paintings, printmaking and textiles.

Postcards will remain unsigned when on display, with the artist’s name only being revealed when cards are bought.

Sally Ann Smith, curator for the Inspired by gallery, said: “Postcard art is a recognised medium in its own right. It inspires the ingenuity of the artists, and can be a perfect starting point for the new collector.

“With the postcards going on sale for £25 each, we’re hoping the exhibition will open people’s eyes to the fact that art can be enjoyed by everybody and that owning an original piece really is possible.”
