After 11 years, Art on a Postcard will host its final postcard auction in support of The Hepatitis C Trust — a moment that marks the end of an extraordinary era. Guest curator Lauren Estelle Jones has invited over 50 artists to create new works in the format of a postcard, a small vessel for something vast.

Taking inspiration from The Mama’s & The Papa’s version of the song Dedicated to the One I Love, the project asks artists to send a visual message to someone they love — either in the present or as a fragment returned to the past. Each postcard becomes a letter of devotion, memory, and becoming — a delicate bridge between lives that have been lived and those still being dreamt up

Lauren Estelle Jones is the co-founder of the contemporary art organisations Art Barter and Alteria Art and acts as an independent curator, consultant, and advisor. She works internationally to initiate projects featuring emerging and established contemporary artists across creative disciplines, with a focus on visual art and music. Jones has worked closely with over 800 artists throughout her career and has invited some of her favourites to participate in this auction — ensuring that there is a mix of established names alongside emerging talent, as is typical of her practice that aims to democratise the way people experience art.
