Mailart / Mail Art for Martin Luther King Day

2008 will mark 40 years since the passing of Dr. King. Please share in an exciting, collaborative mailart project in honor of this human rights leader. Our goal is to receive a minimum of 500 mailart submissions from around the world, so please pass the word around. The submitted pieces of mailart will be exhibited during the 2008 Martin Luther King Day Celebration at South Medford High School in Medford, Oregon, USA. The entire community will be invited to participate! Stay tuned to this website for more details.
