Is it in the spirit of the group to find images on the Web, print them and then incorporate them in the physical mail art (changing the images in various ways)? I feel it is but wanted to ask.

I find all this exciting and giving me lots of ideas.

Also expect that when you leave an address you will get mail from unknown members too....

surprise is one element of mail-art.  So yes......

Kevin: since it began, one of the fundamental principles of Mail Art is that you can mail any thing (within reason) to any one at any time. So send whatever you want to whomever you want...and see what happens. Val

Is it OK to mail something to a member of the group even though you don't know them yet?

Thank  you, Val very much for your help. It is very important to know that i have a friend in my first steps.

Welcome Dimitra!

Your starting point should be to look at the Mail-Arts Projects entry that is one of the Links at the right of every IUOMA page, and to join the Mail Art projects List Group; (There is overlap between the two, but don't let that bother you).

It's easy to get involved in a Mail Art project. Read the description of what is wanted, and then send your Mail Art the specified address. It's that simple!

To organise a Mail Art exhibition is a bit more complicated. Look at what is listed in the Link and the Group, and follow the example of the projects listed there. You will have to have a title, theme, specify what you want to receive (eg postcards, enveloppes, photos, etc), a deadline, an address to send things to, information about your exhibition (when, where, etc) and any other relevant information. You need to make provisions to let people know that you've received their work, feature it on a blog, start a special link, etc.

Good luck and good bye! Val
