The postcard has been designed (see above –ed.) and is on it’s way to the printer! I’m excited to announce that the San Francisco Center for the Book will be home to the “mail/art/book” exhibition for the months of February – April, 2014.
Mail artists, Networkers, artistamp makers and paper people of all stripes are encouraged to submit work for the “mail/art/book” exhibit. SFCB will host an opening reception for contributing artists, Ex Postal attendees, and the general public on February 14th, 2014. The Ex Postal crew is already hard at work planning hijinks and shenanigans for the evening — what’s a party without (good) surprises? I can tell you this much: rubber stamps and chocolate will be involved.
If you’d like to submit work for the “mail/art/book” show, take a look at the details below; head over to the XPF Newsroom to download a copy of the postcard front and back!
