Gemma Peppe, Head of Fundraising and Events for Art On A Postcard, explains ‘we’re thrilled that the quality of the contributors for this year's Art on a Postcard is so high. We've been working overtime to sign up the most interesting painters and illustrators around, as well as the most collectable. Buying from Art On A Postcard is a great way for members of the public to own an original piece of work by a well-known artist and support The Hepatitis C Trust’s goals of eliminating hepatitis C within 15 years and closing down as a charity – realistic goals given that it is a preventable and treatable disease.’

The first Art On A Postcard fundraising event took place in November 2014. Well-known artists including Damien Hirst, Gilbert and George, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Marc Quinn, Jeremy Deller, Cecily Brown and Gavin Turk, upcoming talent such as Hannah Hewetson, Hayden Kays and Cosmo Sarson, urban artists Xenz, Hush and Pure Evil and photographers such as Dougie Wallace and Joycelin Bain Hogg donated postcard-sized works which were sold in a secret auction at Whitfield Fine Art. The event raised £45k for the Trust and was a huge success capturing the imagination of the public and artists alike.

Exciting events so far this year have included a fundraising auction at The Groucho Club, hosted by Sadie Frost with a vegetarian feast cooked by Gizzi Erskine. Last month, Art On A Postcard had a stall at Art Car Boot Fair in Brick Lane selling canineinspired, limited edition postcards from Rankin, Ray Richardson, Dougie Wallace, Hayden Kays, Cosmo Sarson, Margot Bowman and Benjamin Murphy. These will be on sale at the Art Car Boot Fair in Margate on Sunday 30 August and are available online at www.artonapostcard.com.
