Art on a Postcard 2024 boxset of 85 cards
Last updated: 15 October 2026
The Art on a Postcard boxset for 2024 holds 85 A6 postcards, each reproducing a work by an artist who took part in that year’s Art on a Postcard charity auctions. The cover is by Helen Beard, and the artists include Katherine Jones RA, Magda Archer and Corbin Shaw. AOAP Projects, the new name for Art on a Postcard, sells it for £14.95, and it was in stock when I checked on 15 October 2026.
What the Art on a Postcard boxset is
Art on a Postcard started as a charity auction of postcard-sized original artworks. Each year, artists donate small works, and buyers bid on them online. Hyperallergic reported that its 2021 winter auction offered about 550 works by 250 artists, in aid of the Hepatitis C Trust.
The boxset turns a year of those auctions into printed postcards. So instead of one original, you get 85 reproductions from 85 different artists, in a single box.
Who made the cards
The 2024 box mixes Royal Academicians with emerging artists. Names on the list include Ann Christopher RA, Katherine Jones RA, Helen Beard, Magda Archer, Susie Hamilton, Super Future Kid, Waswo X Waswo and Corbin Shaw. The full list of 85 is on the AOAP Projects product page.

The limits
These are printed reproductions, not originals. If you want an original postcard-sized work, the AOAP auctions are where those sell.
At £14.95 the box sits just under the £15 free-postage line, so you pay postage unless you add another postcard item. AOAP Projects also sells boxsets for 2021, 2022 and 2023 at the same price, so check you are ordering the year you want.
Where to buy it in the UK
AOAP Projects sells the box from its online shop. Its about page says the organisation has raised more than £2 million for charitable causes since 2014.
