Postcard Salon

The postcard has been a way for people to communicate for many years. At the Art Center of Battle Creek the postcard is a way for artists to communicate. The annual Postcard Salon takes place now through April 26th, 2012 as a way for artists to showcase their work, for collectors to purchase an artist original piece and as a fundraiser for the Art Center.

Thirty-one artists have created and donated postcard size artwork for the Salon. The artworks can be viewed until the 26th. On Thursday, April 26th a free reception for the artists, Art Center members and the public will take place from 5-6:30 pm with the sale beginning at 5:55 for Art Center members and 6:00 pm for all other guests. All salon works will be priced at $20 each. No works may be reserved ahead of the sale and all buyers must pay for (and take) their selections at the event.

This year five artworks will be selected and the artists who created them will be given the opportunity for a group exhibit in the Art Center’s Gallery 3 during the month of November 2012. One of the five winners will be selected by public voting, the other four by an independent juror.

Also during the Postcard Salon “Little Hubbard Pumpkin” by nationally known doll artist Jennie Hepler-Takens, will be on display as a Silent Auction item. Bids for this artwork will be taken from now through April 26th.
