January 17, 2011 - postal poster
NEW DEADLINE: Must be Postmarked by January 31, and arrive by February 3.
My dear Jinxes,
Our next group show, February’s POSTAL, will be an exhibition of artwork that can be mailed to us. All media and subject matters are acceptable. Any packaging used to ship your piece must be an intentional aspect of the piece. In other words, if you put it in an envelope, expect to see the envelope displayed in the gallery along with its contents. Pieces need not be packaged at all. Think “postcard”, but different, and think outside the box… literally… unless you feel like building a really interesting box. Below are a few links to information/inspiration for anyone who wonders what can be posted without packaging at the USPS:

Please submit your work in the form of a physically posted piece of mail and BE SURE TO SEND IT WITH SUFFICIENT POSTAGE. You need not contact the gallery in any way other than your posted artwork. If you would like to make other arrangements to title, price, and attribute the work, or to have it returned at the summation of our show, please contact us at info (at) jinxartspace dot com with the words “February’s Postal” in the email subject line. Pieces must be postmarked no later than Monday, January 24th, 2011 January 31, and arrive by February 3 to be included in the show.
