Mail Art call for Entry: "Where RU coming from?"

FeMail Box would like to invite you to:

participate in a mail art exhibition themed “Where are you coming from?” We are looking for regional and international artists to submit 4” x 6” original work on paper for exhibition and sale. Each work will be sold for $10, with proceeds funding this project and future Fe-Mail Box events. Painting, drawing, photography, printmaking and mixed media are all welcome. The exhibition will be hosted by East End Applied Arts and anderson’s art box which are both located at 1556 Florence Street in Aurora, Colorado.

“Where are you coming from?” was inspired by the fact we are ‘stuck’ in the middle of America. We want to know ‘where you are coming from’ not only in the physical sense but psychological, spiritual, philosophical, theoretical (art) whatever. We want to engage our viewers in an international dialogue and need your help. So, in the spirit of ‘mail art’ we request your submissions and if this is a new art form for you please check out the following websites: www.mail-art.de; www.spareroom.org; www.zyarts.com

Please continue to send us your mail art. We will accept mail art until we hang the show the week of June 8th.

“Where are you coming from?” will open during the East End Arts District summer art walk, Friday, June 12^th from 5-9 pm. We will post video and images from the opening on our websites.

Show Dates: Thursday, June 11^th – Wednesday, July 8th
