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 Keith S. Chambers on August 23, 2016 at 12:20am: Thanks Diana, you rock. It's a bit of a walk for me, so I'll probably not make the reception; but I will be there in spirit.

Comment by Diana Hale on August 23, 2016 at 12:14am: Hopefully everyone should be getting this postcard in the mail soon, but here is the show info:

Comment by Carmela Rizzuto on July 27, 2016 at 4:33am: Wonderful news, Diana! Yes, it is lot of work and we really appreciate your efforts!

Comment by Diana Hale on July 27, 2016 at 3:26am: Updates! We are on for a September show at the local community college (Piedmont Virginia). I shared your addresses with the director of the art department so you should all receive an invitation within the next month. I realize most of you won't be able to make it, but I hope it will be a nice memento of your participation. Mim, maybe you can?

Please take a look at http://philpottlakeproject.tumblr.com/ when you have a chance and let me know if I need to make any corrections to the images or text. I still have one unidentified piece too.

Thank you again for being a part of my first mail art project and being so patient and understanding throughout my learning process. It was way more work than I thought it would be, but I am completely in awe of everyone's art and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience.

Comment by stripygoose on May 4, 2016 at 7:01pm: I like it too but it wasn't me :>)

Comment by Diana Hale on May 4, 2016 at 6:04pm: I love this postcard. May I have a title, artist, & city so that I can update the blog?

Comment by Diana Hale on November 19, 2015 at 2:13pm: Scans of a blank for anyone who would like to contribute digitally or print and alter the image. If you want to be in the exhibit, please send me a print. Thanks!
