Postcard Art Auction: A Roundup

Thanks to everyone who helped us raise more than $26,000 from our postcard art auction, including the 158 artists and 96 donors who participated. And a special shout out to Vicki Saulls, our auction organizer extraordinaire.

You can still see some of the beautiful artwork here. The postcard above is from artist Veronique Joffre.

Along with the more than $23,000 we raised from a friends and family screening in November, we’re using every penny from the auction to build a school in Freetown with our nonprofit partner Schools for Salone. We’re also planning to create a library at the School for the Urban Environment in Bed-Stuy. More details to come!
