Mail Art call "VINE / WINE"

[Laura Chiarello]

Hello! I invite you to the international Mail Art project dedicated to the theme “VINE / WINE”, organized by the ECHORAMA Association,  expiring on June 14, 2024.

The theme was chosen to celebrate and promote the choice of the territories of Alto Piemonte and Gran Monferrato as “European Wine City 2024“, an event that aims to promote the valorization of the territory through historical traditions and culture related to viticulture and wine production.

The wines, the cellars, the landscapes and the wine hills are inexhaustible sources of stories and life, a true sensorial and emotional journey, between nature, taste and beauty, which have accompanied social conviviality for centuries.

The invitation is open to all artists, regardless of age, level or ability, from every country in the world, who are invited to express themselves on the theme “Vine / Wine”, exploring its culture and traditions, from the plant and cultivation of the vine, to the entire wine production process and its uses.
