OUR BOARD
#TwitterArtExhibit utilizes social media and public engagement to generate income for charities and nonprofit organizations. In the past, #TwitterArtExhibit has generated funds for a library suffering from deep funding cuts to purchase much-needed children’s books, for an abused women’s shelter seeking to improve the lives of the families they serve, and for an arts organization mentoring underprivileged young adults in preparation for careers in the visual arts.

-
The public is invited to buy the art at an affordable, flat price.
-
This provides artists with new exhibition opportunities, new audiences and benefactors, and appeals to art enthusiasts all over the world.
-
It’s fun!
WHO WE ARE
-
Postcard Art Exhibit, formerly known as "Twitter Art Exhibit," is an annual postcard art fundraising initiative that utilizes social media and public engagement to support charities and nonprofit organizations while promoting our Postcard Art Exhibit family of artists.
-
Until 2019, 100% of the proceeds from each postcard art sale went to our annual beneficiary. Due to the high overhead costs to keep the organization running, Postcard Art Exhibit now earns a 20% commission, allowing the P.A.E. team of volunteers to repeat the event annually. Postcard Art Exhibit, which was rebranded in September of 2023, thereby leaving behind our original name of "Twitter Art Exhibit," was founded and created in Norway in 2010 by artist, David Sandum.
-
Social media plays a significant role in our initiative. We share, seed, and promote our artists to thank them for participating and making each event a huge success.
