Free Digital E-Cards
Turn a photo into art, then send it as a free card.
A birthday, apology, thank-you, or faintly formal ambush: create the artwork in the Commissioned Wing, keep the variation that survives review, then email it to someone with your message inside. Free to send. Verified by email. Ridiculous by design.
Generation and sending both begin with an account. The card itself is free; the Institute merely insists on knowing who opened the envelope.
Choose your starting point
Two starting points. Both avoid normal sentiment.
If there is no saved artwork, make one first. If the collection already contains a survivor, proceed directly to dispatch.
The order is plain: make the artwork, keep one variation, then send it or order the object. The committee has been asked not to complicate this. It is coping.
2
Make the artwork
Upload one ordinary photo, choose one movement, and review the four variations.
3
Send the card
Keep one work, verify your email, write the message, and the Institute dispatches a free digital card.
What gets sent
One email. One private card page. No checkout.
The free e-card is not a product maze. Choose the saved artwork, address the recipient, decide whether the original photo should be confessed, and send.
The recipient gets an email
The desk sends one message to the address you enter, with a private link to the digital card.
The card opens in the browser
They see the saved artwork, your message, the occasion, and enough institutional gravity to trouble a mantelpiece.
The source reveal is optional
The ordinary photo stays hidden unless you deliberately turn on the reveal before dispatch.
The sender is verified
Every dispatched card records a verified sender email. Charm is encouraged. Anonymous nonsense is not.
