2026 Featured Mail Art Selections (#1)
June 27, 2026 – Los Angeles: Welcome to the first featured selections from the Artists For a Better World International 2026 Global Call for Mail Art. Throughout the year, we’ll be showcasing outstanding submissions from artists working in many different countries.
(Want to submit your work? Visit Mail Art.)
This year’s theme was “Unity,” since artists, through their diverse expressions, can bridge cultural and geographical divides, fostering shared understanding and connection across communities.
Once again, we were amazed by the response to this year’s Call for Mail Art. Our sincere thanks to every artist who shared their creativity with us. Although we can’t feature every submission, we’ll be highlighting many outstanding works throughout the year.
The one-minute television spot above is airing next week on cable television as part of the Our Ventura TV series.
