Title of Show: Connections: Art Reaching Out From Around The World

Mail art was popularized in the '60s by Ray Johnson of the New York Correspondence School, and many contemporary artists use the art form to express themselves.
All postcard art created on an existing 4"x6" post card or a 5” X 9” post card.
Materials will vary, depending on the technique you choose. Artists create with any technique, and all media, including collage, markers, crayons, pen and ink, colored pencils, rubber stamps, tempera, acrylic, watercolor and printmaking.

The English Speaking Union Houston Branch is a non profit organization dedicated to international relations between the UK and the other countries of the world and the celebration of all things British.
