Event Description

Hi everyone...warm greetings from Ireland. You're invited to join our 2026 International Open Call for Mail Art on the theme, Fugitive Hearts...

Consider the big picture. Of the heart on the run in its broadest sense.

To or from something. A person(s). A place. A cause or concept. An ideal or philosophy. A memory or time in history. Anything. Anywhere. The interpretation is yours to decide.

Consider this and from it extract something small yet significant. Something meaningful and valuable to you. And use this to express your idea.

Open medium/technique.

Original works.

No larger than 4" by 6" (10cm by 15cm).

1 piece per participant.

On the back please clearly print:

Title

Medium

Name

Please note that due to a significant and annoying increase in Ireland's postage rates, certificates will be sent electronically.

Deadline: 24th October, 2026

Exhibition opens: 1st November, 2026

Video and written documentation on YouTube and the website listed.
