The One World Postal Art Show Welcome to the One World Postal Art Show.
Postal art is art that travels the planet via the international postal system.
A postal art show usually consists of mailable works that are sent through the postal system for the purposes of an exhibition, publication, or other project. Unlike traditional art shows, the art is usually not juried, censored, and is not returned when the show is over. Thus, postal art is less like a commodity and more like a gift to a friend that you do not know. The free exchange of ideas that is a cornerstone of this participatory network provides a greater awareness of other cultures and interrupts antiquated market structures. The rich history of shared acts of creativity from making dinner to making mail art needs to be revived and examined as a strategy for bringing meaning into our lives.
