LPAPA Strong & Positive Postcard Art 2020

January 31, 2020 by Toni Kellenberg

LPAPA Strong & Positive Postcard Art Auction was a unique online art auction to raise funds to help support LPAPA and its Artists in a fun and positive way. And, it was an opportunity for art lovers to do something positive and receive a special and unique piece of art with a positive message for their art collection.

109 Artists from around the country pledged to paint and personalize an original 5″ x 7″ LPAPA Strong & Positive Postcard that was created and mailed to the winning auction bidder.

Your support provided hope for all in a time of uncertainty and has helped keep the art community alive. Half of the proceeds was shared equally by the Artists and half helps sustain our nonprofit.

The auction began on May 5, 2020, as part of the #GivingTuesdayNow global day of giving that took place as an emergency response to the unprecedented needs caused by COVID-19. People showed their generosity and kindness in a variety of ways even while practicing physical distancing.

The LPAPA Strong & Positive Postcard Art Auction began May 5th and ended May 15th. Hashtag #LPAPAstrong was used to support of nonprofit LPAPA and its Artists.

Together we will get through this! Together we will keep LPAPA strong!
