Design a Postcard - C Both Sides

Has anyone had a go at this?, basically you get a blank postcard, and create your own and enter it into an Art Exhibition - http://www.anpostcbothsides.ie

Sounds like a really good idea, and there are different themes for each month

In February 2007 an intriguing exhibition of postcards from around the world opened in Mullingar Arts Centre. The exhibition was the culmination of a year’s collaboration between Westmeath artist Teresa Doyle and Edel O’Reilly Flynn from Co. Down.

In early 2006 the two artists had invited people from all over the world via Internet postings, press releases and word of mouth to make a cultural statement and send them an individually designed postcard as part of a global art project. The end exhibition of unique artworks, which was funded by Westmeath County Council, was inspired by and utilised postcards collected, which was curated by the two artists who had developed the idea.

The exhibition, which toured to the USA, touched a cord with everyone, as the sentiments expressed through the postcards were universal. In the era of the text message and the quick fire email Teresa and Edel wished to celebrate the old art of postcard communication and inspire a revival of the skill of handwriting. They aspired to map the movements of the community and record a time in our collective social history.
