Calling himself the “Curator of Love Letters,” Kramer encouraged local artists, writers, art enthusiasts, musicians, teachers and creative minds to send a love letter to the gallery. In his invitation, he wrote:

What is a love letter from an artist?
What does it look like?
We won’t know until you show us
Here is your opportunity to draw,  
write, paint, weave, paste, fold,
print what’s in your heart, the highs and the lows,
the rejections and the yes’s … addressed to someone near 
or far away (another galaxy) or
sometimes we just write to ourselves.

In what Kramer calls “a modest attempt to preserve the postal tradition,” all correspondence and transportation for this show “will be coordinated by the USPS under the direction of the Postmaster General.” Letters purchased from the exhibition will be mailed from the gallery to the owner.

Please note: a sampling of images is featured here. Many more can be seen in person in our Annex gallery space.
