Fleur's Place

Featuring Fleur Helsingor's original art, music, photography, poetry, and stories

Mail Art

I've gotten more interested in mail art during the last couple of years. In some cases, I send artwork to organizations that display the received mail art in a gallery, school library, or a similar place, or I exchange pieces with individual mail artists.

For some projects, the entries are posted on the web. Here's a selected list of websites and blogs that feature online mail art exhibitions, and all of the pieces are on display if you'd like to take a look.

The curator provides a simple image to use as a base, which you can download and modify to submit in the current exhibition.
