My apologies for the lack of a full and complete translation for this one.
It seems to me that the call is requesting mail art in any form on the subject Red Cross by December 31, 2017.
If any of my readers speaks French and can offer and additional information, it would be greatly appreciated in the comments.
Happy Trash to you, until we meet again!
There were rumors… people were talking… it was whispered in corners….
Now, it’s official!
Trash Bubbles: A Poetic Exploration of Trash is an exhibit designed to bring about an awareness of trash as art.
Intended to coincide with Earth Day 2018, it is to be an exhibit of my own Trash Bubble creations alongside those created by other artists and mail artists around the globe. In addition, there will be public workshops culminating in a mass mailing of commemorative Trash Bubbles.
The purpose is to bring about an awareness of trash as art, as poetry. These pieces shock and awe on a fun and engaging level. I hope to spark conversation and encourage participation. A venue is currently being sought in the Pittsburgh area, details to follow.
In the meantime, I’d like all of you who said, “I might like to try my hand at creating one of those Trash Bubble thingies!” to get the ball rolling.
Here’s what I need from you:
Trash Bubbles: A Poetic Exploration of Trash
The Studio at Piney Creek Acres
107 Marigold Lane
New Brighton, PA 15066 USA
This is going to be a grand adventure! I am eager to see your interpretation of the theme.
Happy Trash to you, until we meet again!
This week’s call is one that really appeals to me. I can’t help but think of the song, “Sucker for Pain” by Suicide Squad.
We all experience pain, at one time or another, in our lives. Some of us experience it more frequently than others and there are many different levels of severity to consider. This call asks us to draw on pain we have experienced, either physical, or emotional to convey a visual depiction of it. It asks us to share something intensely personal with the world in hopes of making a lasting impression on the medical students who will view the exhibit. If you would like to be an instrument of change in this area, read on for details.
The Hoyt Gallery at the USC Keck School of Medicine presents “PAIN2”, a mail in art/postcard show featuring images depicting physical and mental pain. PAIN2 will run from September 1 – Oct 27, 2017
Our hope is that PAIN2 will give medical students a visual representation of what their future patients will be going though. We want them to see their patients as people, not just symptoms. We need you to draw your personal pains.
Deadline for submissions is August 30th, 2017.
PAIN2 is open to all visual artists worldwide.
Artists retain rights to submitted works, but grant Hoyt Gallery the rights to digital reproduction of their submission(s) to include on the Hoyt Gallery webpage, and PAINARTSHOW Facebook page. www.facebook.com/PainArtShow/
Artists may send their pieces by postal mail to this address:
Pain
C/O Curriculum Office
Keck School of Medicine at USC
1975 Zonal Avenue, KAM 200
Los Angeles, CA 90089, USA
All work should include Artist name, email address, and info on type of pain depicted.
My apologies for the quick turnaround on this one, I only just learned of it.
Happy Trash to you, until we meet again!
For those of you who were looking for these posts and haven’t seen one since June… I sincerely apologize. I mistakenly thought that I had scheduled MMMAC posts through July. A brain fart, I suppose. I am hoping to remedy the situation beginning with today’s call.
The direction of visual arts of the secretary for culture of the province of Santa Cruz summons visual artists to participate in a mail art exhibition in October 2017 in the city of Río Gallegos. Those interested should send one or more works related to the topic “distance” via postal mail to:

The works will become part of the heritage of the secretary and will also be published on his website. Also, the following information must be attached: name and surname, ID Mail (email) and postal address. Deadline September 1st 2017. Size: 10 x 15 cm In any technique.

Distance. How near? How far? The expanse in between… When we think of distance, we are usually thinking in terms of how far X is from where we are currently located, the distance between two points. I would venture to guess that we think of distance in this manner one or more times a day. But what about the distance in a relationship? The distance in one’s thoughts? An athlete’s distance?
As always, participate if you feel inspired to do so. Deadline: September 1, 2017
Happy Trash to you, until we meet again!
Black and white is classically striking in most instances. At the very least, it is crisp in its delineation.
This mail art call asks you to play with black and white, to use it to create something small that visually packs a punch.
Happy Trash to you, until we meet again!

One of the most intriguing mail art calls I’ve found in some time, the Raoul Hausmann Anniversary Project’s theme is A Kingdom for Dada.
You might have guessed that Raoul was a dadaist in his time. Austrian born, he moved to Germany with his family at the age of fourteen. He co-founded Club Dada in Berlin and was involved for a time with Hanna Hoch, another prominent dadaist of the movement. You can read more about him here: http://www.dada-companion.com/hausmann/ and here: http://www.artnewsnviews.com/view-article.php?article=raoul-hausmann-the-dadaist-who-redefined-the-idea-of-protests&iid=33&articleid=980
Please note that the deadline for this one is fast approaching… June 30, 2017.
Happy Trash to you, until we meet again!

Happy Monday Morning!
Today’s mail art call is one I was glad to see. Leonard Cohen was a prolific writer, poet, singer/songwriter and musician. He was also a painter and a novelist. His work explored everything we question… religion, politics, loneliness, sexuality, and relationships, just to name a few.
When he passed in November of last year, I heard some ask, who was he? What did he do? I was stunned that there were folks who didn’t know his name, weren’t aware of his contributions. The question should be… What didn’t Leonard Cohen do? He was a true multi-potentialite before we had a name for it, before it was cool. He set the tone, he paved the way.
If you want to learn more about him, his poetry and his music I suggest starting here: http://www.leonardcohen.com/
If you are like me, you’ll want to participate in this mail art call, so without further ado, here are the details….
