Two years ago, local historian (and former Kenosha TV Committee member) John J. Hosmanek published a collection of Kenosha postcards through Arcadia Publishing.  This book proves that postcards are not only a form of communication, they're a window to our past, a reflection of our community, and pieces of art. 

While you can buy a postcard from your neighborhood malt shop, the truest treasures are homemade.  Artlink Contemporary Art Gallery in Fort Wayne, IN also appreciates handmade pieces as it invites artists from around the world, including Kenosha, WI, to submit postcards, created in any medium, for display in their gallery from December 12th to January 14th.  There's no jury for the art and no fees.  There is also no designated theme, so draw that giant halibut, if you wish, or paint a postcard-sized picture of a streetcar.

Postcards will not be returned.  Artlink will sell these cards with proceeds benefitting Artlink's exhibitions.

All participating artists' names will be posted on Artlink's website.  To download a postcard mail art prospectus from Artlink, click here.
