The Chesterfield Postcard Show opens on the 9 May, a unique exhibition of postcardsize works of art that have been created by established artists and members of the local community.

To celebrate the launch of this year’s show there will be a special opening weekend on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 May at West Studios, which will include a free print workshop and refreshments. So, as well as enjoying the artwork on display, you can make your own!

The Chesterfield Postcard Show is organised by Junction Arts and local artist Dave Elsom. It allows creatives, communities, and up-and-coming artists to show their work in a professional exhibition.

This year’s show is entitled ‘Wish You Were Here’ and celebrates the importance of getting creative and its impact on people’s self-esteem and well-being.

said: “We’ve had a great response this year, with entries from professional artists in the UK and further afield as well as from members of our local community. I love receiving these mini works of art, every single entry makes you smile, and I can’t wait to see them all on display.”
