Both Art on a Postcard and the Art Car Boot Fair have International Women’s Day on-line events happening right now, Art on a Postcard have another of their always excellent auctions happening while Art Car Boot Fair have a week-long on line sale happening. Both events feature a rather diverse selection of art from women, both events are curated by females, indeed the Art on a Postcard event features seven rather impressive auctions put together by female curators. Both organisations have a reputation for finding and featuring exciting artists, both new and established, it is rather difficult and probably a little unfair to be cherry picking favourites from either event, however we have done just that.
