Description

Description: From staying in touch with friends and family to contacting our representatives to mailing in our ballots, the United States Postal Service plays a vital role in how our voices are heard. This mail art show will explore the idea of expressing yourself through postal art. Pick an issue that is important to you (for example: social justice, climate change, the 2020 election) and create a piece of art on a postcard to bring greater attention and let your voice be heard. There is no fee to participate. We request that all participants photograph their postcard prior to mailing. Please email us a jpeg of your postcard, your name and any information about your mail art.
