Mail Art

Mail Art is a creative movement where artists send visual art, postcards, or decorated items through the postal system instead of traditional galleries. It emphasizes personal expression, communication, and community, often featuring handmade designs, drawings, or collage work. Participants exchange these art pieces globally, blurring the lines between art and everyday life, and prioritizing accessibility and spontaneity. Mail Art fosters a sense of connection and experimentation, making art a part of everyday correspondence, and highlighting the postal service as a medium for artistic expression.
