Mail Art is the present, the gift, of any artwork that can be sent by post. Handmade postcards, photocopies, computer prints, collages, paintings, drawings, constructions, found objects, anything you wish. Mail Art is whatever you want to make of it. Some people are very serious and work on themes related to saving the world, others just have fun, which also helps to save the world, at least from depression and despair. To join the network of mail artists the only thing you need to do is to answer an invitation and do some artwork yourself

The organizing artist will send documentation of the event to all the participants, which will consist of some kind of report so senders would know what happened to their artwork.

You can go to my links and from there to one of the sites listed as publishing calls and choose something that appeals to you. I am afraid that I tried to put calls up but could not find the time to keep up to date, so I am grateful to those of us who manage so well their sites. 

After a while of answering calls you will start to receive invitations directly and then you will know you are part of the Eternal Network of Mail Artists too! Later on, if you like, you can initiate your own projects and post the invitations in these websites. You could have a place to show and then produce some form of documentation. Some people are lucky and have a place like a café, a shop, or manage to get a school involved but others show in very odd places, perhaps their hat or their front door. Also you can make  artists' books or make use of any other devise to collate the artwork received.

So far I have shown Mail Art on several venues but the main one is my shopping trolley, the STG-UK, and a bag dedicated to Mail Art, the Shopping Bag Gallery.
