An International Mail Art Show

R.A. Fountain, General Store, celebrated the world of bluegrass music with this mail art exhibition, which opened in September 2014. As with our 2006 mail art show, all entries were exhibited in store & remain online, subject to small town Southern sensibilities & tastes

Although mail art remains more international than American, we received several good pieces from this side of the Atlantic.
