This is a quick note after a hectic and full on 4 days (includes set up).

I am so grateful to everyone who contributed their work to the first Mail Art exhibition that County Fermanagh has ever seen (so we were told). It was wonderful and exciting to speak with people who have never heard of Mail Art, about it. And to show and speak about your work. I loved doing that (maybe I have a new calling). It made it feel like you were all there

Everyone attending was enthusiastic and loved the art and set up. I won't gush on, though I could. Suffice it to say Outsiders was a huge success. Thanks from my heart.

There will be a special exhibition video available in due course and I'll post photos here as soon as I catch my breath.

Thank you Katerina, Leslie, MH//Antipode, Zorica.. this means so much to me. I appreciate you and loved showing your work. People were fascinated with the idea of mail art and all the varied theme interpretations. Every piece of art made an impression. So, you guys are actually part of a new wave of art in Fermanagh and possibly Ireland (I think there have been.some exhibitions here).  Zorica- I agree big time. I actually spoke to many people about the artist with a big A thing. It's good for people to see that art isn't just about galleries and museums. And that it can be for anyone drawn to it.

As you may have gathered, I've caught the exhibition organiser bug. I have one in the pipeline for next year. Thanks again. It wouldn't have been the same without you guys in it...xxx

Thank you for all the hard work, Deborah. I feel quite lucky - all I had to do was send you my art. You did the heavy lifting. :)

It's really great that you organized this.

Good topic and good execution.

As R.C. said, the network needs to expand.

We need new players.

Because mail art is gradually losing its meaning, due to the phenomenon of "artists with a capital A," in a way.

Thank you Deb!
