The annual “I Love LPAPA” theme is open to all subject matters with the auction ending in time for the collector’s postcard to arrive by Valentine’s Day.

Please register to commit to paint a postcard for the auction before midnight Monday January 10th through the link below. As soon as you register, LPAPA will send you a postcard kit for you to use to paint an original 5″ x 7″ painted postcard on the paintable Canson postcard provided. Next, you will submit an image of your postcard-painting before midnight on Monday January 24th, 2022; you will then hold onto your painted postcard until you receive LPAPA’s notification after the auction ends February 3rd; you will then personalize and mail your painted postcard to the auction-winning-collector! 

Together we thrive. Together we spread the love! Together we will keep LPAPA Strong!

The deadline for Artists to commit is 11:59pm, Monday January 10, 2022. Artists “commit” by registering through the link below. Completed painted postcard image must be submitted by 11:59pm, Monday January 24th, 2022. Bidding will start at $50 with $10 minimum bid increments. Each artist will receive 50% of his or her painted postcard auction proceeds*. No entry fee!
