"White Rhino" Mail Art Challenge VIDEO!

Ugly Art Room's Jen G. Pywell & new curator Chelsea Foss VanDenend open artwork from December 2015's "White Rhino" mail art challenge. Artwork was mailed from all over the USA.

January's Mail Art Challenge theme will be announced in a separate video very soon.

Mail Art Challenge Dec. 2015: "White Rhino"

Our recent video when we opened art for "Paradise" was such great fun and a success that we decided to host it with a different theme monthly. Here's how it works...

"White Rhino" Drawing by Jen G. Pywell

Ugly Art Room will announce the theme on the 1st of each month. Artwork is sent by participating artists and arrives no later than the 25th of that month. Depending on the number of submissions, at least five pieces will be selected and opened on camera. A video will be posted by the last day of that month and the following month's mail art challenge theme will be announced. All original work in any medium can be submitted as long as the work can fit into an 8 1/2 x 12" bubble mailer. Work MUST be sent with a SASE so the artwork can be returned. Work will be on display during Corvallis Arts Walk which takes place the third Thursday of each month. Work will be made available for sale on Ugly Art Room's website until the CAW event.
