You can also answer "calls" - people organize mail art exhibitions on a specific theme. Answering a call can sometimes be a way to "meet" other mail artists you can correspond with individually.
You can find calls here: http://www.artistampnews.com/dated_calls/html/calls.html http://books.dreambook.com/dfd1313/dfd1313.html http://denis.charmot.free.fr/projets%20of%20the%20day.htm (deadline) http://denis.charmot.free.fr/projets%20on.htm (no deadline) Sometimes we post calls here on this list.
