- Please be sure to document your art before shipping, for in the land of mail, one never knows what happens and if it will actually arrive in one piece – or at all (insurance is the responsibility of the artist).
- Work in the gallery is not insured.
- Once your Mail Art is sent, send an email to let us know details such as an image of your work (if you didn’t put your name on it), your name, title, price, materials, websites and any other info you would like to share.

What is Mail ART?
- The short answer: any art sent through the mail.
- Use something old, something blue, something borrowed – Sky is nearly the limit here folks, but please:
- Observe our size limitations 30 cm x 30 cm x 6 cm (12″ x12″ x 2.5″)
- We cannot accept Internet submissions or video works
- Insurance is full responsibility of the artist
- Some artist like to see what the craziest object they can pass through the mail is.
- Others hand craft postcards etc, or they just send actual pre-made works of art.
- We would also be interested in word art. Perhaps this would be a good time to share something you’ve written.
- Or, what happened to the old fashioned hand written letter?
- Still a little unsure about what mail art is?

Lecture Series: Dahlia Elsayed
Posted: February 13th, 2010
Dahlia Elsayed’s paintings combine text and imagery to create illustrated documents about her environment, resulting in journalistic paintings as records of internal and external geographies. Handwritten text on the painted paper plays an important role in creating narratives between the panels. The work draws on her surroundings, informed by autobiography and landscape to create contemporary cartographies of memory and emotional locations.
Her work is shown internationally and can be found in in the public collections of the US Department of State, Johnson & Johnson Corporation, The Jersey City Museum, Zimmerli Art Museum, Hunterdon Museum of Art, Noyes Museum of Art, Montclair Art Museum, Newark Public Library, New Jersey State Museum, and Morris Museum. Dahlia has received awards from the Edward Albee Foundation, Visual Studies Workshop, The Newark Museum, ArtsLink, The Dodge Foundation, Women’s Studio Workshop, Headlands Center for the Arts, The NJ State Council on the Arts and most recently a grant from The Joan Mitchell Foundation.
