Hong Kong Society for Education in Art (HKSEA), would like to invite students from your countries to join our International and Local Student Mail Art Competition.
The main purpose of this competition is to introduce mail art to more children and young people. Last year we exhibited mail art works from local students along with those from six foreign countries. This year, in the hope that we can resume freedom of movement soon, we have chosen ‘Travel’ as our topic and are calling for global participation. Selected works will be displayed for public viewing in Hong Kong City Hall between December 6 and 12 2021 during the Hong Kong Visual Arts Education Festival.
