WHAT IS MAIL ART?
Mail art is a populist artistic movement. Even a non-artist like me (or you) can participate. Yippy!

At its core, mail art (aka postal art and correspondence art) involves sending art through the international postal system. There is a range of activities one can participate in - envelope art, artistamps, rubber stamp art, copy art, zines, add & passes - to name a few. 


In early 2018 I joined the IUOMA - International Union of Mail-Artists. IUOMA is a 30 year old network of mail artists. In the beginning members corresponded chiefly via 🐌 mail. Then came the internet, and IUOMA made its presence known on a number of online sites. Since 2008 the NING platform has been home for its members.

To learn more, read ​"What is Mail Art?" by Ruud Janssen, a discussion point on the IUOMA-NING site. 

One can also connect with other mail artists via platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, individual blogs, etc. ​

This website is dedicated to all the mail artists who have come (and gone) before me. These creative and daring folks paved the way for the rest of us.

​I hope you enjoy your time here!
