“We Are One Human Family!” Mail-art Project
You are invited to join with others from around the world in a locally sponsored, internationally recognized mail-art project entitled, “We Are One Human Family!” The collected artwork will be on display at the upcoming celebration of Martin Luther King Day on January 20th, 2008 from 3-5 p.m. at South Medford High School.
What exactly is mailart? According to the Modesto Art Museum, it “. . . is art that is created, stamped, postmarked, and sent through the mail to the exhibit. Open to any medium, the art reflects a particular theme that easily integrates into many subject areas. Open to any age or ability level, the art is exhibited … at … venues.” In this case, we ask that participants create and mail postcard-sized pieces of art related to the theme of "We Are One Human Family!"
How can you participate? Send a piece of mail-art to the exhibit. View samples of other submissions and track the project’s progress at
http://mlkmailart.blogspot.com. Spread the word and invite others to participate. Then attend the exhibit on January 20th, 2008 at South Medford High School. To date we have over 100 submissions from 24 countries. But we are eager for more local participation!
If you are a teacher or a parent who is interested in learning more about using mail-art as a teaching tool, please attend a free hands-on workshop on October 13th. Details can be found at
