The Pameran Poskad 2022 is a group exhibition of postcard-sized artworks. Currently in its 8th iteration, it has over 4500+ artworks made by 500+ artists at the ION Art Gallery from 3 - 11 December 2022. Admission is free. The exhibition serves a social good too with 10% of proceeds to be donated to Pameran Poskad’s community partner(s).

Pameran Poskad is a project for the arts community which embraces all other communities to create engagement and communication between people across various societies. Exhibiting artists come from all walks of life; Established artists (such as Boo Sze Yang), Emerging Artists and regular Singaporeans such as students, engineers, homemakers and even little children!

The main objectives of this year’s exhibition are:

• To celebrate creativity by integrating artists and ‘ordinary people’ to create art

• To create an exhibition with a non-exclusive entry point

• To support inclusivity in the arts by reaching out to non-arts participants and audiences, as well as less advantaged persons.

Pameran Poskad sends the message that people are all the same, all are special, and everyone has their individual creativity. To participate, artists signed up with Pameran Poskad and filled at most 10 postcard sized plastic sleeves with artwork to be submitted. There is no curation of the artworks.

Most of the artworks are 2D while some are in 3D. Prices range from as low as $6 to as high as $600. Some of the more unique artworks to check out include Dollar Bill Art by Hello Amy Rose ($35), Sticker Set by Nurrasypqah ($24) and a cartoonist-take on Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat Painting by Samarasketch ($38).

There are also paid art workshops by Cheryl Lam and Rainbow Artisan. Participants can dabble in creating plasticine paintings and jesmonite keychain charms/phone holders respectively.
