The Philpott Lake Project

Information

I came across almost 50 unused postcards of an unfortunate looking lake in Virginia at a junk shop yesterday and I think they have potential.

I was hoping that I could send them out to any interested artist, they could alter them as they see fit, send them back to me, and I could publish the responses in any format the group would like. Maybe I could scan them and create a Tumblr page?

No restrictions on the medium or content, first 47 responses, and I will publish as we go.

I am open to any and all suggestions.

I am also a new member, so please correct and forgive me if I don't understand quite how things work yet. Participants will be sent a piece of art from me as well.

Comment by Diana Hale on May 4, 2015 at 11:02pm: Thank you all for participating, this is exciting! I am getting everything together and hope to have the first round of cards in the mail this weekend.

I Google mapped the lake and it turns out is only about three hours away. I might take a field trip and see what I can find.

Comment by Mim Golub Scalin on May 4, 2015 at 2:43am: This is so the kind of card I like to alter. I have a collection of "boring" cards, also, given to me by a friend whose mother has an antique shop. They were culling out large quantities of boring cards. Send me one and I'll gladly alter it for you.

Comment by pascal on May 3, 2015 at 8:49pm: Good idea: you will send me one of these cards and I will return to you......with my artistique participation..
