ERI 10: You've Got Mail

Submit your work by November 8th

Posted 12 Oct 2023

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 8TH, 2023

Exhibition Runs: November 16th - December 14th, 2023 @ Eyelevel’s Bookstore, 2482 Maynard Street

Opening Reception: November 16th 6 - 8 PM (featuring a print-it-yourself project by Maria Rosati!)

The Eyelevel Reshelving Initiative is returning with a mail-art edition of our long-standing printed matter and multiples show! You’ve Got Mail will be a non-juried member’s exhibition of printed matter and multiples that are packaged and redistributed as “care packages” to all of the participating artists. 

Artists are welcome to consider the theme of mail art, early-internet aesthetics, and low-fi communication, or simply include a submission of previously created works that fit within the size and edition guidelines of this call for submissions. 

ERI is a member’s program, if you are not a member of Eyelevel or need to renew your membership, please visit www.eyelevel.art/membership. Sliding scale and PWYC/free memberships are available! As a non-juried project, all member submissions that follow this iteration’s guidelines will be accepted (with the exception of any submissions that violate our code of conduct.)

  1. Submit an edition of 6 copies/versions of printed matter or multiples either in-person or through the mail. All submissions must be received by the deadline of NOVEMBER 8TH.
