Pacific Northwest Mail Artists

Information

Pacific Northwest Mail Artists

This group is for mail artists in the northwest corner of the U.S. and British Columbia.  Exchange mail art with your region's artists and maybe meet in person.  We are planning quarterly meetings in the Seattle area where we will make mail art together and share what we are working on, as well as some favorite pieces we have received.  We'll also share tips and techniques.  Put a face to the name on the envelope!

Hello! I just joined this group and would love to exchange with fellow Pacific Northwest people. I live in Portland. I have just released a new series of art stamps, with a few sheets still available. Let me know if you'd like to trade.

P.S. there is always Zoom, too!

I sure hope so! I would love to. I am experiencing ebb and flow with mailart. Hopefully I can send you all some mail soon.

Hello, everybody. Just wanted to say a quick hello. I have been on IUOMA for about 4 months now. I have enjoyed corresponding with you during this time. I look forward to meeting in person some day, too!

Sounds good to me! Staying at home actually INSPIRED me to start making mail art in the first place! I needed a project to keep me busy, and it occurred to me to ask about mail art organizations. It's also actually a logical direction for my creative process and values, and I plan to continue, even after things open up again.

Hello PNW mail artists!  Since we will not be able to meet in early May as we were thinking at our last meeting, what do you think of each person posting something about what they are working on?  How has staying at home impacted your mail art creation?

I'm delighted to find out about this group, and look forward to the next meeting, whenever it may occur. Keep the art flame alive! - Melanie

Hello Mailartists!

We have Mailart Congress on 2/3 (Monday) 10am -12:30pm at Northgate Library. (10548 Fifth Ave. N.E. , Seattle, WA 98125).

Here are few thoughts: -If you received awesome or unique mailart, bring to share. -If you have extra mailart or art supplies that you don’t need, bring them to see if someone else can make use of it. Bring them in a shoebox or a bag to share. -Making quick black and white collage postcards together (Yayoi will bring some markers, collage papers etc to share. Bring your glue stick, scissors, rubber stamps, magazines, old book pages, etc.) - let’s decide on next meeting three months out around May time frame. Do you want to contribute showing art ideas we can do together? These are the ideas I can think about...if you have other ideas please add.

Also, as this will be shorter meeting, do you want to go to LUNCH after the meeting? Some suggestions of the restaurants are on the next post. Take a look to see if any of these sounds good to you. They are all close from the Northgate library.
