Mail Art in Portland Maine

 Hi my mail art friends...  here at the Union of Maine Visual Artists, we're finally doing a mail art show!  Would love to see your entries.... and it's all in honor of one of our founding members - Carlo Pittore!

UMVA Gallery at PMC Plans   

              Postcard Visions for 2021

(In Homage to UMVA Co-founder Carlo Pittore)

Since one of the founding members of the Union of Maine Visual Artists – Carlo Pittore - was also a Big Time Mail Artist the UMVA Gallery @ PMC in Portland is calling for both digital and physical mail art for a January 2021 on-line show on the UMVA Blog, as well as a special fundraiser at the end of 2021 when the physical pieces will be sold for $5 each to benefit UMVA.

The theme of the mail art online show is: Your Vision of the Year 2021

Artists are asked to email umvablogger2020@gmail.com with photos (one, several or more) of their postcard size (4 x 6") mail art. (Please write “Postcard Visions” in the subject line of your email.) The longest side of the JPG should be 2800 pixels and dpi 72. In the body of the email, artists are asked to write a few sentences about themselves and their hopes for 2021, which will be included in the on-line show. The Deadline is December 28, 2020.

Artists are asked to mail their work in envelopes to: UMVA Portland Gallery, 516 Congress St., Portland ME 04101. The actual postcards must be mailed to UMVA Portland Gallery by January 15, 2021
