100 BEAUTIFUL POSTCARDS. ONE GREAT CAUSE.
The Made in Essex Secret Postcard Sale is a fundraising event featuring 100 beautiful postcard-sized mini masterpieces created by the best local artists around, along with a few national artists and a sprinkling of celebs too, including Jo Brand, Jools Holland and Grayson Perry.
100 GOLDEN TICKETS
The 100 postcard creations are all exhibited at Emma Bell's wonderful gallery '70 The Broadway' in Leigh, and 100 Golden Tickets go on sale on the day the exhibition opens, sold on a first come first served basis, and they always fly out the door!
Those lucky enough to bagsy a Golden Ticket are guaranteed one of the beautiful postcards, allocated at random, so it's a lovely surprise which one you get and who created it.
ART FOR GOOD
It's a real feast for the eyes, and it's all for a wonderful cause too, with all the money raised going straight to Metal's amazing 'Connect & Create' project providing art classes for people living with dementia.

The money we've raised together over the years has played a key role in keeping Metal's amazing initiative afloat, ensuring they can continue to offer their brilliant art classes to local people living with dementia, making a real and significant difference to their lives, and the lives of their loved ones.
Thank you so much to everyone who's been involved in the event so far - all the wonderful artists who've donated a beautiful postcard creation, the fabulous Emma Bell who’s let me use her beautiful gallery space, to all the wonderful Golden Ticket buyers & all at Metal's Connect & Create. You are all GREAT.
Thank you, so much & here's to the Secret Postcard Sale No. 5...
