Art is a Healing Force
Mail Art Salon 2016 - 2017
Open Call
“The country is so wounded, bleeding, and hurt right now.
The country needs to be healed—it's not going to be healed from the top,
politically. How are we going to heal? Art is the healing force.”
Robert Redford
National Arts Policy Roundtable 2012
This is a season for healing. A time to slow down for a moment and let the
power of making and sharing art heal us.
This project is a call for all artists to make a little
piece of art and mail it to someone who may not be expecting it. Take a photo of the piece you make and post
it Then post a photo online with the hash-tag #MailArtSalon
In addition to sending art to someone who may never have
received art in the mail before, you may submit original works to the sponsor
at the address below.
- Original artwork only; no photocopies or reproductions
- Postcards; 4” x 6” or 5” x 7”
- All media and techniques welcome
- Multiple entries allowed

- No fees, no jury, no returns.
Please include your name, mailing address and email address
with each work submitted. Title of the work and medium are encouraged but not
required.
A list of participants will be compiled and provided to
participants by email after the submission deadline. If you do not want your contact details
(postal and email address) to be included please let us know.
