Mail Art Call – Art Day 2010

Published 10 May 10 | By Aisling

Art Day 2010 will be on August 13th. You can contribute to the celebration by sending mail art.

Several years ago, I hosted an Art Day mail call. It was tremendous fun to see the art from all over the world… envelopes, postcards, ATCs/ACEOs, and more.

The event is now hosted elsewhere, but the enthusiasm for art — and Art Day 2010 – continue!

Here are the Art Day 2010 Mail Art guidelines:
