HELP please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My forthcoming Mail Art Exhibition is in BIG TROUBLE

[Valentine Mark Herman]

HELP!!!!

 

I sent out the call below a few weeks ago, and the response has been very, very disappointing. So disappointing in fact that I’m faced with a non-Exhibition.

So, let me make things easier, and ask you to send me an Envelope. Any Envelope

Forget ‘Summer in Sigean’ – just send me an envelope on the theme of Summer.

Envelopes only.

They need not be square ones – any shape or size will do.

But please write ‘Sigean’ on the front of the envelope.

THANKYOU, and apologies if you get this more than once, but I’m getting desperate.

SUMMER IN SIGEAN/L’ETE A SIGEAN

 

Sigean is a small and beautiful village located in the South of France mid-way between Narbonne and Perpignan, and close to the Corbières and Pyrenees. (see www.sigean.fr)

 

There is a thriving Mail Art community in the village, and les Envelop-Pistes de Sigean will be holding an Exhibition of Envelopes in the local Médiathèque in August 2012.

 

The theme of the Envelope Exhibition is “Summer in Sigean”/ “L’Etè à Sigean”

 

You are invited to contribute an Envelope to this Exhibition.

 

Envelopes must be 16.5 x 16.5 cms /6.5 x 6.5 inches. (Sorry, but that is the standard format for the Exhibition, and only Envelopes of this size will be accepted).

 

The front of each Envelope should include a painting, drawing, collage, etc on the theme of “Summer in Sigean”/”L’Etè à Sigean”.

 

On the back of the Envelope please include your name, contact details and any other information that you think might be relevant.

 

Only the front of the Envelopes will be displayed in the Médiathèque (so there is no need to put anything inside your Envelope).

 

Please send your Envelopes to:

 

Médiathèque Municipale,

37 rue du Commerce,

F- 11130 SIGEAN,

France

 

before Monday 30 July, 2012.

 

There will be no jury, no fees, and no return of the Envelopes. A blog will be set up on which the received Envelopes can be seen.

Thankyou. Times 4 -- thankyou, merci, bedankt and gracias.

Spring was here in Sigean yesterday, but it has gone today. Roll on summer.

Bon weekend, Val

I know, I know, my dear Valentine does not like seeing posted mail art that has not arrived yet...

but this is for PR, so get a sneak peak anyway!

(this one is BEFORE I added... "Summer in Sigean" somewhere...?)

Sending out 4 square envekopes today, Val...but 2 will have your address and the other two I changed and sending to Mediatheque Municipale :-) Also added "Sigean summer" or "Summer in Sigean" before mailing! Wow!

Hoping you get many. many contributions!

(Angie...what we do for OUR Val ;-)

Here's lookin' at you, kid!
