    "Pay homage to your favorite mail artist"

    To celebrate 10 years that I'm involved in mail art I have decided to organize a mail art project entitled "Pay homage to your favorite mail artist" and dedicate it to all my mail art friends. During all these years I met many amazing artists through their art works. My communication with them helped me evolving as an artist, gave me joy every time I received their mail art and hope for the next ones to come.

    Pay homage in any way you want to the artists who were unique, special, different, loved to you!!! Tell them "thank you» with your art work and let the whole world to know it. You can use painting, collage, photography, digital art, artistamps... technique free. This is an ongoing project as the list with our favorite artists never ends.

    Number of submissions: Free

    No fees, no jury, no returns.

    Documentation: All entries will be displayed online so if you don’t want your contact details to be published please let me know. The received art works will be posted on my social media and my blog.

    CALL FOR MAIL ART SUBMISSIONS

     

    Paper+ Post is an international open call for mail art with collage as the theme. Postcard

    sized mail art will be presented in an exhibition at Boise State University titled, Paper +

    Post. This exhibition will feature collage and mixed media works highlighting current

    worldwide trends in collage. We are asking participants to respond to life during the

    pandemic these past three years. We welcome participants to ponder the question,

    “How has living with the pandemic for the past three years changed your life?” Upon

    conclusion of the exhibition, artwork will be preserved in Boise State's Special

    Collections and Archives at Albertsons Library. Paper + Post’s open call for collage-themed

    mail art is being held in conjunction with World Collage Day, an annual,

    international celebration of collage.

     

    World Collage Day, which will be held on May 13, 2023, is about artists connecting

    across borders against a global context of entrenchment and separation. The day is

    about an art medium that excels at bringing different things together to create new

    forms and new ways of thinking. Ric Kasini Kadour, the editor of Kolaj Magazine, writes,

    “We created World Collage Day because we wanted to honour this community of artists

    and to remind the world what a spirit of cooperation, mutual support, and creativity can

    look like.”

     

    A live meet-up event will be held on World Collage Day, Saturday, May 13th.

    Participants from the community can explore and create their own works using collage

    as the medium. Details of the event to follow.

    Sources of strength - we live in a rather broken world, characterized by environmental destruction and pollution, climatic catastrophes and war conflicts, not to mention the personal and work-related problems that many people have to deal with. We are asking: Where do you get the strength to go through life upright despite all this? What brings you joy, what creates hope and confidence, what puts a smile on your face, what brightens your heart? Whether it is friends or family, art or music, religion or philosophy, sports or meditation, whether it is the smile of your neighbor or the chirping of birds in the morning - whatever makes you strong and powerful, let us know!

    We want to focus on the positive and empowering aspects of life as we need them to survive in this world. We are curious and looking forward to receive your answer!
