"L'Arte de la Carte Postale Exhibition": Part 1

[Valentine Mark Herman]

The Exhibition opened last night __ with 1110 Post Cards!

The Post Card fileld a series of display penels in two large rooms in the local Médiathèque/Library.

Here are the photos of the various display panels in the first room.

(Photos of the second room will be posted tomorrow)

We begin with the Sigean Mail Art Fan Club at the vernissage:

Then on to a general description of the Exhibition:

And then on to the Post Cards on the various display panels in the first of the two rooms:

Many of the display panels here were 'dedicated ' to one individual, school or organisation (the basic 'rule' was that if you sent 15-20 post cards you got your Very Own Panel). Here goes with the 'dedicated' panels:

AND NOW -- THE IUOMA 25th ANNIVERSARY PANEL!!

And now a series of 'mixed'  (ie non-dedicated) panels:

Part 2 -- with photos of the other Exhibition room -- follows soon.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS EXHIBITION!

Val the exhibit looks great! Thanks for your time and efforts in organizing this. I love the children.

What a fantastic collection of mail art, Val!

And you did such a beautiful job of displaying and honoring us all.

Special thanks for the panel with postcards from Afroditi's students

at Stavroupoli, Greece. It is a joy to see art from mail artists and students and 

children...beautiful!

So fun! Wish it was closer so I could go see it in person. Glad that my card made it! :)

That's a relief, Taidgh. I've been worrying about people asking me (so DON'T ASK ME): "Where's my Post Card?"
