The 4 x 6 Exchange 2

Another worldwide community art swap

There’s no better feeling here at Art House HQ than the arrival of the mail — each day brings us a slew of inspiring artwork from all over the map. The 4 x 6 Exchange is designed to share that thrill by creating an art swap on a global scale. Sign up for the project and mail us a 4” x 6” artwork and a USPS self-addressed, stamped envelope. We’ll exchange your work with another artist’s submission and surprise both of you with the results! Keep your eyes on your mailbox...

The 4 x 6 Exchange captures the excitement of an unknown gift while making introductions between artists from around the world. Participants contribute a single 4” x 6” artwork to the project — these works are then exchanged, with each artist receiving a stranger’s contribution in the mail. Paint, draw, print, collage, write, sketch or sew: Any medium is welcome, as long as the 4” x 6” artwork fits flat in an envelope. Bring a burst of excitement into your life every time you check the mailbox — and know that somewhere around the world, you're about to make a stranger's day.

The 10 x 10 Series is proudly presented by The Self-Portrait Project. Every artist who contributes to The Self-Portrait Project is helping to support the 10 x 10 Series and ensuring that Art House will continue to produce free community art projects.
