Postcards From the Edge is a Visual AIDS benefit show and sale of original, postcard-sized artworks by established and emerging artists. All artwork is exhibited anonymously. While buyers receive a list of all participating artists, they don’t know who created which piece until after purchased. With the playing field leveled, all participants can take home a piece by a famous artist, or someone who is just making their debut. Nonetheless, collectors walk away with a piece of art they love, knowing that the money raised will support HIV prevention and AIDS awareness.
Proceeds benefit Visual AIDS. Cash, check, credit cards accepted.

Alternative forms of investment other than traditional forms of investments in stocks, bonds, cash, or property, could be a way of ‘bucking the trend’. The term ‘Alternative’ is a relatively loose one and includes tangible (?) assets such as art, wine, antiques, coins, or stamps.
