I am pleased to announce:
"Cultural Crossroads"
An International Mail Art Show, July 1 - 31 at the Plainsboro Library Gallery in Plainsboro, New Jersey, USA.

This bookmarker mail art show has over 140 entries from more than 60 artists in 22 countries, including: Denmark, The Netherlands, Venezuela, Singapore, Japan, Canada, Portugal, Germany, France, Guatemala, Brazil, Chile, Italy, Finland, the UK, Australia, Turkey, Belgium, Laos, Russia, South Africa and the United States.

To create this show, I sent out letters to mail artists who have contributed to shows I have been part of, and posted a call for bookmarkers for this show on various websites. The entries were varied and wonderful, many creative collages, original drawings and paintings, words and languages and stamps from the far corners of the world. It made getting my mail for the last few months quite a treat. If you are interested in exploring the world of mail art, I encourage you to visit here for more information:

The show supports a month long cultural crossroads festival celebrating our rich cultural diversity in Plainsboro, and New Jersey. Feel Free to join us for a Make and Take Workshop 1 - 3 on July 8th - children and adults will make collaged bookmarkers and be able to trade one with an international entry in this show.

and look for another youtube video here that shows the TWENTY winners of the auction part of our show - These 20 represent the amazing and generous art work sent in from all over the world - and the creativity, skill, and wit shown here makes me feel that the world is going to make it, even in this time of chaos and change.
Thank you to ALL the artists - choosing these was so hard because all 142 bookmarkers we received could have just have easily been on this red wall of fame.
ART builds community and connection - as is proved here in this work.
EnJoY!
