Project Description
ArtCard is a community-based mail-art project that was initiated in October 2009 by LA-Artist.com with the intent to showcase Los Angeles’s artistic diversity.
ArtCards are blank pre-addressed postcards that have been distributed across the city (in coffee shops, art galleries, community centers, schools, etc.) by our team of dedicated volunteers.
Angelinos are encouraged to use each ArtCard as a 4” x 6” canvas on which to create and mail in their own works of art – the resulting collection of sketches, doodles, collages, prints, and words help to document the city’s varied and ecelectic creative framework.
To honor freedom of expression and equality in the arts, there are no guidelines and every ArtCard received is published and exhibited. Submissions are digitally archived online by artist name, L.A. neighborhood and Zip.
LA-Artist.com is organized by Oliver I. Shipley and is a volunteer run organization.
