Opportunity for artists:

These are "open" mail art exhibitions (as opposed to "juried"). This means that all submissions will be included in the exhibition. Entries are sent via mail and are usually not returned. Mail art is usually created on a blank postcard and sent through the mail to the exhibition.

Deadline: Dec. 31, 2003
Group 78, Tokyo's English-language local group of Amnesty International, the worldwide human rights organization, will adopt the theme "Violence Against Women" as a major campaign priority next year. To publicize this and to reach out to women's groups, human rights groups and other concerned people, they are appealing to the mail art artists for suitable submissions on the theme. They intend to exhibit in Tokyo and possibly other cities in Japan, and to produce a documentation of the submitted works. Every contributor will receive a copy of the documentation.

The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art is requesting mail art submissions for an exhibit in February 2004 on the theme "Sense of Place." Artists are encouraged to respond by providing works that examine changing conceptions of place, borders and nationalism on a global scale. How would you represent your sense of place in today's world? What has happened to your sense of place since the rise of globalization? Since 9/11? How has the spread of internet communications altered perspectives on near and far?

Each work should not exceed 20 inches in any direction and may be 3 dimensional. Please include contact information: name, address, email. Due to space limitations, not all submissions can be exhibited. However, all submissions will appear on BMoCA's website and all submitting artists will be acknowledged. Exhibited works will be listed in the catalogue and on the BMoCA website. Submissions will not be returned unless SASE is included. Questions to Brandi Mathis at 303/443-2122.
