About the event
Join us for the opening of “Celebration of Sapphire: Mail Art from Around the World” curated by Penny Weaver & Michelle Davis Petelinz.
About the Exhibit:
The sapphire birthstone honors those born in September, though it was historically a birthstone for April (bonus points to anyone who can guess why we thought this was notable!). The stone is also a fifth, forty fifth, and sixty fifth anniversary gem (no bonus points available here!). In the same way each facet of a precious gemstone reflects different hues of brilliance, our mail art will feature the myriad shades of blue. We welcomed creative explorers from all over the world to participate in this International Mail Art Call. All ages and skill levels were encouraged to join us on this adventure!
