Q: What is Mail Art? A: The free exchange of art between artists, sometimes based on a particular theme or size, limited only by imagination and what can be mailed.

Q: Can I join TACMA? A: Do you make art? Do you live in Texas?

Q: How do I become involved in the next project? A: Email me (Josh) to be placed on the mailing list. I do a TACMA project once a year or so, but all members have the others' addresses and can initate projects at will.
