Secret Postcard Show contributors support Derbyshire art gallery
The Old Lock Up Gallery at Cromford is seeking support for its fifth Secret Postcard Show in which artists donate postcard sized orginal work.
A statement on the gallery’s website says: “The exhibition is a fundraiser for the gallery and an arts charity – without this show the gallery was sure to have closed in its first year of opening. It continues to support the future of the gallery.”

Hide AdArtists can submit a maximum seven postcards, measuring 12cm x 17.5cm, of their artwork in any medium, until August 6, 2021. The postcards should not be signed on the front but name and contact details should be put on the back.
The Secret Postcard Show will be open to the public from August 27 to September 11, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.
Postcards cost £15 and a percentage of the profit from the exhibition is donated to Arts Emergency, a charity supporting talented and disadvantaged creatives and artists to access education and employment in the arts sector.
