(Swainsboro, GA) – Gallery RFD seeks submissions for it upcoming
exhibition titled The Art of Communication: An Installation of Mailed
Art.

Gallery RFD presents its 3rd annual exhibition of The Art of
Communication: An Installation of Mailed Art.   The Grange movement of
the late 1800’s helped create RFD (Rural Free Delivery) by lobbing for
the postal service to deliver mail to the peoples of rural communities
as they did their urban clientele.  Gallery RFD similarly advocates
offering rural residents the same resources and access to the arts
that urban areas already have.

The Art of Communication is an exhibition about using opportunities,
like the mail system, that our forbearers fought for so that we might
more freely communicate our ideas, emotions, and expectations with
each other.  Artists of all ages, skill level, and geography are asked
to create work on any item that
can be sent through the postal
service.  Awards will be given for: Best of Show, Farthest Traveled,
and the "Outside the Box" award.  All works submitted will be
exhibited.

Submission deadline: Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 4 p.m. (EST)
Exhibition runs Jan. 10 - Feb. 7, 2009
Opening Reception: Jan. 10, 2009, 5-8 p.m.
