My Lovely Postcards 2025

Calling all budding and professional artists! Submit up to three postcard-sized artworks to our art exhibition and auction, and use your talents to help raise vital funds for Sobell House.

My Lovely Postcards will be taking place this May as part of Oxfordshire Art Weeks.

The exhibition will raise money for Beth’s Bursary Fund, set up in memory of Beth Foreman in 2017, which supports nurses to receive further training and education in palliative care. It’s an important cause to get behind and we would love to have your support.

 

See the mini masterpieces in-person at our art exhibition between 3rd – 5th May at The Cloister Gallery at SJE, Iffley Road, Oxford, OX4 1EH.

Bid on your favourites through the online auction from the 1st – 25th May.
