Currency
Theme: Mail art call for our Inaugural International Mail Art Show with a theme of "Currency". This is a subject on almost everyone's mind these days.
At one time or another, in one place or another, virtually every kind of object has been used as currency - coins, paper, gold nuggets, shells, goats, chocolate, brides, baseball cards, IOUs - the possibilities are endless. Also please note that "currency' doesn't necessarily refer to a medium of exchange. For example, events can have currency (current events); rivers can have currency (if you want to stretch the meaning a little and make a pun) and of course there's always currency jelly (or is that currant?) So you get the idea right? Take the idea of 'currency' and stretch, fold, bend and mutilate it to come up with your own interpretation.
Media/Size: Submissions can be any shape, any size - as long as they have the appropriate postage attached. They do NOT have to be flat two dimensional works, and they do NOT have to arrive in an envelope - although of course they can be two dimensional and be sent in envelopes if that's what the artist wants.
Exhibition: September 10 through October 6 at the Guadalupe Art Dogs Gallery artists colony, located in the Old Ingram Loop on the banks of the Guadalupe River in Ingram Texas. This show will be conducted in accordance with the principles that guide the Mail Art Movement worldwide.
There is no entry fee, and no limit on the number of pieces that can be submitted.
There will be no prizes - other than the "Peoples' Choice" awards.
Documentation: As with all our shows, the Mail Art show will appear online approximately two weeks after the opening, so if you can't come to see the show in person just log on and enjoy browsing.
Entries will not be returned unless the appropriate amount of return postage is sent along with the entry and the piece is clearly labeled that it is to be returned, with your full name and address. Those entries not returned will be distributed at no cost to area hospitals, nursing homes, schools, homeless shelters, and other places where they can brighten some person's day.
Info: If you have any questions please email us or call between 10AM and 5PM at 830-367-7420 (U.S. Central Standard Time) Wednesday through Saturday.
