FAQs
What do you consider “art”?
This is loosely defined. Let your creativity guide you! It can be a positive thought you compose, or a figurative or abstract visual. Past participants have used collage, painting, stamps and ink, pen, markers, and the like.
Do I have to make the Valentine's?
Not necessarily. This art project aims to be a prompt to get your creativity going. That said, the larger, overarching goal of this initiative is to share and receive the good vibes that we each matter and are special in our own way!
What size should my postcard be?
If you’re mailing within the U.S.A., our postal service accepts postcards of up to 4”x6”. If you’re outside the U.S.A., check your carrier for their size limits.
Does it have to be a postcard?
Not necessarily. Postcards are a convenient, small blank slate for art-making and mailing. However, if you prefer mailing a card in an envelope, and it fits the positive message of the project, go for it!
