In conjunction with a site-specific installation by local artist Lynn Marie Naden, the Pratt Museum is excited to host the ROOT International Mail Art Exhibit. We are rooting out participants!

Artists from across Alaska and around the globe are invited to mail original artwork via U.S. Postal Service, on the theme of Roots. All works are considered a donation and will be auctioned for the Pratt Museum (a tap root of our community) at the December 30 closing, with starting bids set at the cost of postage.

The root of Mail Art is attributed to the New York artist, Ray Johnson, correspondence artist founder (Oct. 1927-Jan. 1995).
