Harry Potter Mail Art Call

I have my art jewelry at The Studio School & Gallery in historic Irvington on the eastside of Indianapolis. And in July, the Gallery will be mounting the annual Student Show. In conjuction with that show, the Gallery is also going to display mail art focused on The Magic of Harry Potter. (In case you didn't remember, the 7th Harry Potter book is to be released in July.) So, I would like to invite you to join in the fun and submit your own Mail Art for this event. To save time in searching here is the Mail Art Call.

MAIL ART CALL: The Magic of Harry Potter

The Studio School & Gallery Mail Art Show will run in conjunction with the 2007 Studio School & Gallery Student Show. Artists from around the world are invited to submit a postcard-sized piece of original artwork to us. There will be no jury, no fees and no return of artwork – documentation will be online after the event.

All received postcards will be on display from July 14 to August 5, 2007 at the gallery. The opening reception for the show is on July 14, 2007.

The theme of this mail art show is The Magic of Harry Potter. Let your imagination run wild as you apply your own interpretation to this theme.

Postcards must be received by July 7, 2007 to be included in the show. Postcards submitted must be an original drawing, painting, collage, mixed media piece, poetry, or short story created by you and must fit on a standard postcard dimensions (4 inches by 6 inches). The artwork on the postcard can be either horizontal or vertical. All artwork can be mailed as a postcard or sent inside an envelope.

Please no nudity, overly religious artwork, racist, or pornographic art. This show will be viewed by the general public which will include children.

Please include on the back of your postcard - your name, full mailing address, title of artwork, medium, email address, and website, if you have one.
