Mail Art without Borders


The international call “Time and Space” invites mail artists to explore the vast expanse of the universe, the enigmatic passage of time, and the intricacies of the human experience. This year’s exhibition presents a chance for creative expression and exploration for artists of all levels to participate.

The aim of the organizers is to “curate a captivating and culturally rich creative experience, showcasing a diverse collection of works from around the world”.

The works will be displayed in an outdoor exhibition at the historic Lavoir in Dun-le-Palestel, a commune in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of central France.
The show will take place in July and August 2025. Therefore, the postcards must reach their destination before the end of June.

    1. Hi Rosa, the article states „The show will take place in July and August 2025. Therefore, the postcards must reach their destination before the end of June.“
      We forgot to reiterate the deadline in the punctuation guidelines. Sorry about that!
