International Mail Art

Mail Art, also known as postal art and correspondent art, is an artistic movement centered on sending small-scale works through the postal service. While originally Mail Art had no rules, it generally operates as artistic experimentation combined with humour, spontaneity, and simplicity of materials. For many Mail Artists, the process of exchanging ideas and collaboration within a global community is valued above the aesthetic merits of the finished product, differentiating the Mail Art Network from the world of commercial postcards and of simply "mailed art".
