It is currently on view in Sarasota, Florida, at the Basch Gallery, Ringling College of Art and Design.<br/><br/>Due to the short amount of time between the call for entries and the installation of the show, I loaned the student curating team my personal collection of postal art, including the USPS project. This article includes some pictures. The installation is pretty fabulous! They did a fantastic job.</p>http://savetheusps.tumblr.com/post/35351209515http://savetheusps.tumblr.com/post/35351209515Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:42:00 -0500mailartFloridaexhibitionsave the uspsRingling
