 Background

In the fall of 2020, a Zoom discussion  platform was   founded by  Gerda Osteneck and The Sticker Dude, Joel Cohen as a way to invite other mail artists to reflect and discuss barriers to inclusion for women artists. The Sticker Dude, Joel Cohen said that he was interested in identifying some of the reasons women don't join groups, or why they might leave a group.  Discussing these issues formed a camaraderie among group members, who named the group ZMAG (Zoom mail art group). As the meetings progressed members began to share their creative process, Zoom studio tours, and presentations on topics of individual interest and expertise.   

Call Out/Art Call  ZMAG members only

ZMAG is a mail art group sensitive to barriers and was  created around the pillar of inclusion. Every member is encouraged to freely articulate and express   thoughts and impressions from their unique perspective.   This year,  ZMAG is celebrating SWAN DAY on March 27, 2021 (Support Women Artists Now) by inviting ZMAG members to share mail art on the theme of inclusion/exclusion, or  any  mail art imagery and writing created by a ZMAG member. 

Please submit your jpegs and pdf files to Kathleen McHugh (mchughart@gmail.com) before March 20, 2021. Also include any or all of the following information: your name, artist pic, bio,  website or email address.  Thank you!
