2024 Mail Art: It’s a Wrap!

April 29, 2024 – Los Angeles: Artists For A Better World International (AFABW Int) concluded its 2024 Global Call for Mail Art. The campaign, which ran from June 29, 2023 to April 15, 2024, attracted participation from all over the world.

Global artists responded with a remarkable range of styles and mediums in their mail art creations. Entries included everything from sketches and drawings to collages, paintings, and mixed-media works.

“We are blown away by the diversity and enthusiastic response to this year’s mail art campaign,” said Jeannette Hay, founder of AFABW Int. “The submissions are a testament to the global artistic community’s dedication to positive change.”

AFABW Int President, George Alger, added, “The creativity and passion is truly inspiring. It exemplifies the power of art to spark hope and ‘uplift’ the world.” The statement alluded to the theme of “Uplifting” for the 2024 Worldwide Call for Mail Art.

Selected works from the submissions will be featured throughout this year on the local cable television program, Our Ventura TV, as well as on the AFABW Int website and social media channels.
