Mystery Postcards
Mystery postcards are postcard sized original paintings and photographs that are very generously donated by artists and sold for £40 each. Artist’s names must only be written on the back of each postcard so that they can be sold anonymously and the artist’s identity is only revealed to the buyer after purchase. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of mystery postcards go to Yorkshire Children’s Charity.
If you are exhibiting and would be prepared to kindly donate up to a maximum of 5 mystery postcard please indicate this on the Artist’s Registration form.
