The Work of Art in the Age of Digital Reproduction
At a time when images have become ephemeral and intangible, the goal of Art Card Dispatch is to provide a physical object that increases interest in the original work, its creator, and its location. The card as a physical object takes on meaning, value, and permanence as an aesthetic addition to a space, and/or encourages written, creative correspondence as a card.
Like an untethered gallery, Art Card Dispatch makes it possible for a tangible form of a singular work to reach a wider audience and, in turn, invites viewers to visit the original piece and explore the artist’s full body of work as an experiential pilgrimage.
It costs nothing for artists to participate and they share in the profits for the month that their work is featured. Art Card Dispatch is the perfect way to discover and support artists from home!
Art Card Dispatch was founded by Lindsay Jaeger as an actionable way to support artists, with the goal of introducing their work to new audiences. It is operated as a small business and labor of love. Learn more in this feature by Shoutout Colorado.
