Mail Me Art: Medium Without a Message

The Medium Without a Message exhibition will be an amazing collection of envelopes and boxes from around the world decorated by some of today’s most talented illustrators and artists. What makes the work special is that every single piece of art was sent through the postal system, exposed and on view as regular mail. We will be displaying the art at the exhibition in its delivered state, as handled by the postal workers during transit! This will be your last chance to see the collection as a whole before the work is sold to private collectors. For a limited time during the exhibition advance and signed copies of the book – Mail Me Art: Medium Without a Message – along with – Mail Me Art: Going Postal – will be available to purchase from the Red Gate Gallery.
