Create Columbia will present its third Invitational Postcard Art Exhibit. Artists from around the world are invited to mail their original art postcard for inclusion in the exhibit. Entries will be used as a fundraiser for Create Columbia.

Several guidelines have been created for submissions. A postcard-size artwork or two should be created using any medium, such as painting, collage, illustration, photography, or mixed media. Postcards must be sent via postal service (as a postcard) and should not be contained within an envelope. This year's suggested theme is "It's About Time." Artists need not include a return address on their postcard art, but Create Columbia suggests that artists add their website address, as visitors to the exhibit may wish to see more of the artist's creations.

Postcard art submissions should be mailed to CC Postcard Art 2023, P.O. Box 328, Columbia, PA 17512. The submission deadline is Thursday, Aug. 24.

The entries will be exhibited at the National Watch and Clock Museum, 514 Poplar St., Columbia, from Saturday, Aug. 26, to Saturday, Sept. 2. The museum's business hours are Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; the museum is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

All displayed entries will available for bid via a silent auction throughout the exhibition period. The closing reception and announcement of winning bids will be held at the museum on Sept. 2, beginning at 2 p.m. Bidding will close promptly at 4 p.m.

Income derived from winning bids will go toward continuing operating costs of Create Columbia, a 501(c)(3) organization. No postcard art will be returned, and the artworks may be included in future fundraising efforts by Create Columbia.
