McKinney, Texas -- Postcard Art Exhibit, previously known as Twitter Art Exhibit, was founded in 2009 by Scandinavian Artist David Sandum. His vision was to leverage social media as a means to raise funds for his local library in Moss, Norway, by selling original postcard-sized artworks. Sandum utilized the social platform Twitter and garnered donations of 260 postcards from artists spanning 24 countries. His poignant quote, "Through art, we can change the world," has resonated globally and has garnered over 1000 entries from 65 countries worldwide.
Postcard Art Exhibit 2024 will take place at the MillHouse McKinney, nestled in the charming town of McKinney, Texas, USA. Our exhibition will be curated by Robin Pedrero, one of our esteemed curator emeritus, who has been with us since TAE14, marking our 14th event!
