ArtCard: Los Angeles, one postcard at a time

From 2009 to 2015, volunteers left blank, pre-addressed postcards in coffee shops, galleries, libraries, community centers and schools across Los Angeles County. People turned each one into a free 4″ × 6″ canvas, wrote their name and ZIP code on the front, and mailed it back.
