2025 Mail Art Project Celebration

April 17, 2025 – Los Angeles: Artists For A Better World International (AFABW Int) is celebrating the successful conclusion of our 2025 Global Call for Mail Art. Building on a remarkable 25-year legacy of serving artists, this year’s campaign, which ran from May 23, 2024, to April 15, 2025, has once again drawn a vibrant and diverse collection of creative expressions from across the globe.

The theme for the 2025 Mail Art project was “Aesthetics,” in recognition of the power of art to shape our lives and communities, as well as foster a deeper appreciation for beauty. The 2025 mail art campaign also had a purpose to help raise international awareness for World Art Day.

Rooted in the enduring spirit of mail art and marking our 25th anniversary, the 2025 project yielded an uplifting array of artistic responses. From intricate handmade postcards to creatively embellished envelopes bursting with imagination, the submissions showcase the boundless ingenuity and dedication of artists worldwide.

“This year’s mail art project holds a special significance as it coincided with our 25th year of engaging with the global art community,” said Jeannette Hay, founder of AFABW Int.

AFABW Int President, George Alger, echoed this sentiment. “Witnessing the creativity pour in from every corner of the world is truly inspiring. This year’s collection not only celebrates the rich history of mail art but also underscores its continued relevance as a medium for personal expression and cultural exchange in our increasingly digital age.”

The diverse range of mediums and styles within the submissions reflects the global tapestry of artistic talent. From delicate watercolors and bold graphic designs to intricate collages and thought-provoking mixed-media pieces, each mailed artwork tells a unique story and contributes to the richness of the project.

Continuing our tradition of sharing these artistic endeavors with a wider audience, selected works from the 2025 Mail Art Project will be showcased throughout the coming year on the local cable television program, Our Ventura TV, as well as on the AFABW Int website. This will offer a glimpse into the creativity and connection fostered by this global initiative.

With the close of this year’s mail art project, AFABW Int looks forward to continuing its mission of promoting the power of art to create a more positive world.
