Postcards from the Edge is an annual benefit sale and exhibition by Visual AIDS to support our work.

Now in its 29th year, Postcards From the Edge is known within the art world as the most exciting and affordable way to add to a collection, offering a unique opportunity for buyers to acquire original, postcard-sized artwork for only $100 each.

The project brings together a community of artists from across the globe in support of HIV+ artists. Artists donate original, small scale artworks that are exhibited and sold at a partner gallery each year.

Offered on a first-come, first-served basis, each piece is exhibited anonymously, and the identity of the artist is revealed only after the work is purchased. With the playing field leveled, all participants can take home a piece by a famous artist, or one who's just making their debut in the art world. Please join us — as an artist, collector, or both!

Forty-five years into the epidemic, AIDS is not over—and decades of hard-won progress are increasingly under threat.

Cuts to HIV prevention, treatment, research, and public health infrastructure are disrupting care in the United States and around the world, while stigma, misinformation, and political neglect persist. As attention disappears, artists have an essential role to play in keeping the realities and histories of HIV and AIDS visible.

For nearly four decades, Visual AIDS has brought art and activism together to do just that. Through our Archive, exhibitions, publications, film commissions, research, public programs, and direct support, we preserve and activate the work of artists with HIV, support artists working today, and connect the history of AIDS activism to the urgent questions of the present.

All proceeds from Postcards From the Edge directly support this work.
