Open Call For Submissions

Is the USPS still a vital service? Some claim it should be defunded, reorganized, or relegated to the dustbin of history. And yet so many others rely on the postal system to get essential medications, submit legal documents, send cards to loved ones, make art, and perhaps most pertiently, vote in elections. The post means many different things to different people. What does it mean to you? 

Send mail art for the POST POST? project to:
