Call to Artists

The Postcard Collective operates under a seasonal format, in which a themed postcard exchange occurs once every three months.

Participation in our seasonal exchanges includes creating one postcard for each participant and one for the Postcard Collective’s permanent collection. These exchanges typically include approximately 30 participants, most of whom reside in the United States (though there are often international participants).

We are now accepting non-member entries for the next exchange. To be considered for inclusion, please submit the form below. Only complete submissions will be accepted.
