Formerly the "Twitter Art Exhibit", the Postcard Art Exhibit (PAE) is an astounding international exhibit.

Postcard Art Exhibit, formerly known as "Twitter Art Exhibit", is an annual art exhibition made of hundreds of postcard-sized original artwork organized by a team of volunteers sponsoring a different charity each year.

Postcard Art Exhibit's exhibitions utilize social media and public engagement to support charities and nonprofits worldwide.

Today's guests are founder, David Sandum, and this year's curator (also 2014 curator), Robin Maria Pedrero.

We talked about the origins and evolution of the exhibit with these international artists.

For information on how to enter the 2024 exhibit, listen to the podcast and go to https://www.postcardartexhibit.com/. Hope to see your art in McKinney!
