Artists are asked to create a postcard on the theme Crossing Boundaries. Be they physical geographical, personal, sexual.... the artist will create an image and make 250 4 x 6 cards which will be sent to us (address to come soon). The public is invited to come into the gallery and select cards to make their own unbound book about Crossing Boundaries. Artist will send a jpeg to linda@davinciartalliance.org which will be published on this site as well as on Da Vinci Art Alliance's social media outlets. We will also use social media to share the images.
We recommend you include your name and website somewhere on the postcard.
Several complete sets will be collated and sent to art institutions interested in book art.
