The Art of Community: A Postcard Project

Postcards help us stay connected when we’re not together. In this tender time, while we care for each other by staying apart, Art for the Journey invites our community (that’s you!) to connect and unite by creating bite-sized artwork from home, and sending it to us as a postcard!

Anyone, anywhere can submit a postcard — after all, we believe that everyone is an artist — and anything goes: use your favorite medium, or explore something new! If you can make it and mail it, we’re excited to receive it.

Mail your 4″x6″ artwork to:

Art for the Journey
PO Box 17948
Richmond, VA 23226

Postage is 35 cents — no envelope necessary!

Art from this collaborative community project will be exhibited online throughout the shelter-in-place, showcasing both a diversity of perspectives and the shared experiences that connect us. The postcards will then be displayed in the fall of 2020 at Art for the Journey’s 5th annual Art Exhibition & Celebration, as a symbol of the things that have brought us together to overcome isolation.

We’re drawing the circle wider to overcome isolation.

Join Art for the Journey for a night of art, food, drink, and pickleball! This "Mash-up" of ART and PICKLEBALL is a fun way to share the mission of Art for the Journey to transform lives through art and community!

This year, we have a super fun evening planned. There will be lots of art donated by local area artists, pickleball demos, pickleball courts for play, and lots of delicious food from the Sharper Palette, Belle Isle cocktails, a delicious assortment of fine wine, and a wonderful silent auction. You can play or you can simply watch and mingle! You can definitely see and bid on art, and enjoy the new and different ambience! Also, if you can not attend, you can register to bid on art during the silent auction right from home. We do hope to see you there!!!

Help Art for the Journey by attending the event, and you will make a difference in the lives of people ages five to 105! Art for the Journey seeks to deliver and promote positive mental health and well-being for those who have least access. This fun event will also help others!
