Auburn: Postmarked: Connecting Communities Opening Reception this Thursday, July 25th, 2024 5:00 – 6:30 PM FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 22, 2024 Contact: Allison Hyde, Arts Program Supervisor (253)-931-3043 | arts@auburnwa.gov __________ Opening Reception Postmarked: Connecting Communities Thursday, July 25 | 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Free Postmark Center for the Arts Postmark Center for the Arts is proud to present its newest exhibition, Postmarked: Connecting Communities. Please join us for the opening reception this Thursday evening to celebrate the collaboration of various creative communities. Postmarked: Connecting Communities is a mail-art project that aims at bringing creatives from all backgrounds together under one theme: What does community mean to you? Postcards became an easy and quick way for individuals to communicate in the late 19th century and made it possible to bring experiences from all over the world to one another’s doorsteps. Postmark Center for the Arts, originally Auburn’s historic Post Office, is dedicated to empowering diverse communities by providing the opportunity to unite within the shared language of the arts. In honor of Postmark’s upcoming one-year anniversary, this exhibition intends to capture the uniqueness and diversity of its own growing community, with a focus on themes of space, place, and identity. Hundreds of postcards will be on display, bringing definitions of community from artists of all ages and abilities together. The exhibition will be on view from July 25 – Oct 2, 2024. Visitors are encouraged to join in the creation of postcards in the Gallery. We hope to see you there!
