Submission Date Change!!

In my haste to get Paris of the West off the ground, I only gave a month from the announcement of issue one until the deadline. I realize that is a short time span for artists, so I've decided today to extend the deadline to Monday, JUNE 15th!

The drop-off / mailing address for your submission is still
Paris of the West c/o E. Isakson
Studio 310
4731 Grand River Ave.
Detroit, MI 48208

I look forward to all the submissions, and please post any questions or comments to the facebook page here.

Thanks!

Here is a link to the wikipedia article about mail art, though it's not the most complete, it's a jumping off point on the concept.

Also, check out this great german site, mail-art.de,
that has a wonderful group of definitions about mail art and it's history.
