The concept is simple, artists create one of a kind art on envelopes of various shapes, sizes, colors and contained in each envelope will be a mystery inserted by the artist.

The deadline for submissions via email is January 3, 2019

ART SUBMISSION GUIDELINES & INSTRUCTIONS

3. SEND THE WORK

• Conceal something in the envelope. (It can be another work of art, words of wisdom or some other wonderous thing. Nothing perishable, messy, or innapropriate please.)
