The annual painted postcard fundraiser is open to all subject matters, all mediums, painted on a 5″ x 7″ postcard.

LPAPA’s goal is to raise funds to support the Artists and LPAPA, as well as showcase a special art exhibition at the LPAPA Gallery!

Please register to paint a postcard before midnight Monday January 2nd through the link below. After you register, LPAPA will send a postcard kit for you to use to paint an original 5″ x 7″ painted postcard on the paintable Canson postcard provided (or on a 5″ x 7″ panel with the postcard affixed to the back).

Next, as soon as you have completed your painted postcard masterpiece, submit an image of the front and back of your postcard painting before 5:00 pm on Friday January 27th, then arrange to get your original postcard to the LPAPA Gallery by 1:00 pm on Tuesday January 31st or sooner.
