This collective post art campaign, originally launched in lockdown ahead of the 2020 election, stirred tens of thousands of people to create and contribute to the public art movement, supporting USPS in the process, and all the while reminding and mobilizing people to vote. Mothersbaugh and Wolfe received postcards from every part of the U.S. (and across the world) with the ever-growing collection first exhibited at the Rauschenberg Gallery before a selection of the art went into the Smithsonian. Such a chord was struck that post art is still being received today four years on! As democracy and our right to vote still hangs in the balance, Postcards for Democracy invites everyone and anyone to create a piece of mail art and send it in to become part of this public art demo, with an exhibition and book to follow. With the aim of the campaign being to encourage as many people as possible to vote, you can join it by buying stamps, making a piece of postcard art and mailing it to: 8760 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069.
