AOAP Projects: International Women's Day 2026

After more than 10 years as one of the UK’s most recognisable charitable art auctions, Art on a Postcard has re-emerged as AOAP Projects, unveiling its first International Women’s Day auction this March. The inaugural exhibition signals a decisive shift in format and ambition, replacing the traditional postcard with bold new 5 × 5-inch plywood works and, for IWD, a curatorial vision led entirely by women. 

The show is curated by an influential panel including independent art advisor Claudia Cheng, Working Arts Club founder Meg Molloy, Liminal Gallery director Louise Fitzjohn, and the Women in Art Prize, marking a confident new chapter for the fundraising culture platform led by Gemma Peppé. All funds raised will support The Hepatitis C Trust and its vital work with women affected by the criminal justice system—a group whose needs are consistently overlooked, whose vulnerabilities are too often treated as criminal, and whose chances of reintegration are obstructed by stigma and structural inequality. Since 2018, the Trust’s small, peer-led team has delivered women-specific services both in the community and across the female prison estate, raising awareness, tackling stigma, encouraging testing, and supporting women through the treatment pathway.

This auction also marks the final chapter in AOAP’s long-standing partnership with The Hepatitis C Trust. With over 100 artworks available, it offers a meaningful opportunity to support the Trust’s work while acquiring outstanding contemporary art.
