Mail Art is a creative form of artistic expression that involves sending small-scale artworks through the postal system. Artists use various materials, such as drawings, collages, and photographs, to create unique pieces that are often intended for specific recipients or as part of a larger project. The art is typically sent without the expectation of return, emphasizing the act of sharing creativity. This movement began in the 1960s and gained popularity among artists who sought to challenge traditional art forms and engage with a broader audience. Fluxus artists, including Ray Johnson, were instrumental in promoting Mail Art as a way to connect people and ideas across distances.
