Mail Me Art Exhibition and Book Launch

A few months ago, I was humbled to receive an invitation from Darren Di Lieto to participate in an incredible project called Mail Me Art 3: Short and Sweet. As an experiment, this is the only time he's exceptionally closed off open-call. Participants are selected on a portfolio review basis. The project garners a collection of mail art from talented artists across the globe. These efforts culminate to a grand book launch and exhibition tour in the UK. What's better? All proceeds made from purchasing any of the original mail art will be donated to Animal Aid, The Teenage Cancer Trust and Water Aid. Coincidentally, I will be in the U.K. but will be busy travelling elsewhere in the country.  Without further ado, you are cordially invited to attend these exhibitions at the following locations.  To whomever is interested, I hope you enjoy a fantastic time perusing these galleries.
