Miniature masterpieces by emerging artists wax-sealed and delivered

SEnd, collect or frame

How it works

Subscribe, and look forward to your very first Post

Each Art Post is a mystery, so you won't know which emerging artists will be showcased till the morning of your delivery. We showcase up-and-coming artists who work across mediums including oil painting, spray paint, watercolour and gouache. You may just discover the next Damien Hirst!

Your wax-sealed Art Post will arrive on your doorstep (yes, really, every one is wax-sealed by hand.)

You'll open your Art Post, a joyous experience in itself, to find four high quality postcards showcasing art from some of the most exciting up and coming artists (you'll even see the texture of a painting on the postcard), and a Meet The Artists booklet so you can find out a little more about people behind the pieces, and the inspiration stories for each piece.

Send, collect, or frame your miniature masterpieces

It's all about the joy: the joy of an unwrapping: peeling back the wax-seal, tearing the crisp brown paper. A present from you, to you. The joy of surprise: finding out which artist's masterpieces have graced your letterbox. The joy of a mindful moment: framing them or finding your favourite pen and writing a note of gratitude, a happy birthday, maybe a favourite recipe on your postcards. The joy of art.

Kate from Sheffield saves her postcards to send as birthday cards, Anna from Brixton has made an art gallery on her coffee table - there are genius ways to use your Art Post.

Your questions, answered

How does payment work?

For subscriptions, payment is automatically taken from your nominated account at the frequency you choose. You can cancel any time by contacting us at rach@theartpost.co.uk.

When is The Art Post sent?

Your first wax sealed Art Post will be dispatched in the month outlined when you subscribe.

How does artist selection work?

One of the awesome things about The Art Post is that each postcard delivery is a surprise - you'll not know which emerging artist will be showcased each month, so when you open the packaging, you'll experience even more joy. So far, we've showcased works from award winning artist Abi Whitlock, Kerry Louise Bennett, and many more inspiring new faces.

Are there going to be different artists every month?

We have many artists who are now a part of The Art Post postcard subscription to spread the word about their incredible original pieces of art. We may feature artists multiple times, but you'll never receive the same miniature masterpiece more than once. There will be signposting to the works featured in The Art Post, so you can buy the original masterpieces.

Can I buy the original art that is featured on the postcards?

Yes, an Art Post subscribers have access to these works before anyone else. We send a Meet the Artists card with each delivery, so you can get in touch with the artists if you want to buy any of their full size artworks.

What kind of business is The Art Post?

We work like a letterbox art gallery. We are not a non-for-profit, but we will donate a proportion of our profits to Rethink Mental Illness, they are a truly amazing organisation, supporting those impacted by serious mental illnesses and helping to fight taboo around mental illness.

I am an artist, can I showcase my work?

We'd love to see your artwork, simply fill out our artist application form. We have quite a large backlog at the moment, so it may take a few weeks for us to get back to you. Still have questions about The Art Post? Drop me an email to rach@theartpost.co.uk :)

What our subscribers have to say

Don't just take our word for it...

Everything about this project has me excited. Where to begin?

The quality of the art and postcards is absolutely gorgeous and I know many people value them purely for that.

But they're perfect to post to friends and family too. I get so excited each Post day, carefully choosing which card to send to which person. I know it will brighten their day and mine as well. In fact the whole project is like a a chain of joy.

People are getting tired of technology flattening our interactions with each other and are learning to appreciate snail mail again. The Art Post facilitates that loving, postal communication that brings us closer together and makes us feel valued. I can't recommend a subscription with them more.

This is such a brilliant subscription. I have the first Sheffield edition. Having just moved to Leeds, it’s wonderful having art cards arriving in the post from ‘back home’. The first set came beautifully bound in string, and I love reading about the artists as well as enjoying the art. I’ve sent some on as postcards to friends and family around the country so they can enjoy too.
