ABOUT THE EVENT

When artists put pen to paper, the result is not always art – sometimes it is friendship, advice, inspiration, or congratulations. The written communications artists send and receive show their expression in ways their art cannot. Letters, holiday cards, and postcards show personal bonds forged through a mutual understanding of the challenges of being an artist. Made possible through the A. Keith Brodkin Contemporary Western Artists Project, Express Mail explores how artists express themselves through the mail.
