There will be a three-day exhibit July 25, 26, & 27 at the Odd-Fellows Hall in Kernville, California, USA. Kernville has a rich history as
a historic mining town during the California Goldrush and was also frequently used as the site for old silent western movies-- think Roy

At the exhibit there will be a world map indicating the country and city of the artists. Many countries are not yet represented…hint! hint!

THUMB!
Theme: This is a mail art call inviting your creative visual responses to
the theme of the “Thumb,” that thick first digit of the human hand.
Whether it’s thumbs up, thumbs down, or all thumbs, this art will
explore the various connotations of the thumb, with irony, with humor,
or in all seriousness. This exhibit is in conjunction with a series of
essays revolving around diverse aspects of the human thumb, created
by a writer working on her master of fine arts creative nonfiction thesis.
Open Media: collage, photography, painting, drawing, printing, etc.
Format & Size: postcards from 4”x6” (or 10 x 15 cm), up to A5 size
about 5 ¾” x 8 1/4” (or 14.8 x 21 cm) maximum.
Documentation: All received works will be exhibited and the artists
listed on the blog http://thumbingthrough.wordpress.com/
Please include your name, mailing address, and email address for
acknowledgment and correspondence purposes –we will send a list of
participants, and copies of any press coverage of the exhibition. In the
true spirit of mail art we want your postcards to continue their
communication journey off the blog and into the physical world with an
exhibition at a local venue here in California (to be announced). At the
exhibit we will encourage audience interaction in the form of written
response to the art. Then the postcards will move on to – who knows?
There is also the possibility that some of the images will be referenced
on the blog and/or in the written thesis.
