This
is where I go is
a mail art exhibition with a local (Vancouver, Canada) and worldwide call for 4
by 6 inch postcards.
My objective
for this exhibition is to affirm everyone’s potential for creativity and to
introduce my local Vancouver community to a movement they can be part of.
This
project consists of an exhibition held at Britannia Art Gallery—a
community art gallery– in Vancouver during November 6 to 29 2013 and a
free workshop on mail art on June 15 2013.
The
Theme – This is where I go
You are
free to interpret the theme as you wish. This is where I go could refer
to a physical location you visit everyday or on occasion for some specific
purpose or, it could be a representation of a place you go to in your mind to
escape from reality and the pressures of life.

stipulations
Britannia
Art Gallery is located inside the public library therefore as well as being a
public building the venue is also within a school environment. Because the
audience includes unattended children, the library has requested that we do not
exhibit work that depicts nudity, is sexually explicit or is overtly violent.
Britannia Art Gallery reserves the right to refuse artwork that is considered
unsuitable in the context of these concerns.
