Event Description

Quinta da Cruz - Centro de Arte Contemporânea de Viseu (Portugal) was created as a dynamic hub for art, culture and identity. It is a cultural space geared towards exhibiting contemporary art and developing artistic practices, and is seen as an engine for local artistic promotion. Intended for public enjoyment, culture and leisure, it is set in a large green area of remarkable biodiversity.

The mail art project promotes the democratic participation of artistic practices, starting with the reactivation of an expression that had its heyday, alternatively to the conventional means of art exhibitions, in the 60s/70s. Every year, an international call for entries is issued and an exhibition is held of the works received.

It also legitimizes that artistic production is a preponderant expression for the creation of spaces for dialogue, places of "breaking", reinvention and daring. This call assumes the transformative, inclusive and participatory role of art. The route of these works is interpreted and intervened upon throughout this postal journey. More than just an annual call, this project calls for a model of collaborative work with the aim of building and giving visibility to collections of this nature.

In 2024, VISEU values healthier and more active habits and routines, promoting a happier and more balanced lifestyle. With this mission in mind, the city is committed to encouraging the community to adopt practices that improve physical and mental well-being. The VI CALL, with the theme VAMOS A JOGO (LET’S PLAY), invites everyone to take part in this artistic initiative that aims to inspire and motivate the population to integrate sporting and recreational activities into their daily lives.

We invite artists and anyone interested in mail art [mailart] to send in their works to take part in the 6th edition of this call. Only works received via traditional mail will be exhibited. We look forward to receiving drawings, collages, stamps, visual poetry and other creative formats at Quinta da Cruz - Centro de Arte Contemporânea de Viseu.
