Art On A Postcard have invited seven female curators along with themselves, including CURA Art, Jo McLaughlin, Vittoria Beltrame, Alexandra Steinaker, Women in Art, Vanessa Murrell and Lee Sharrock to each curate a show comprising of the most talented female artists working today.

Amongst this year’s curatorial line up is ‘All About Art’ podcast host, writer, and historian Alexandra Steinacker-Clark. Steinacker-Clark will bring artworks from the intimate and evocative Unskilled Worker, the wonderful and grotesque amalgamations of multi-disciplinary artist Flora Bradwell and the ‘mad-scientist’ approach of London-based, Australian artist Eva Dixon.
