PostSecret


PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.  This incredible project is celebrating it's 10th year, and the response has been so incredible, there are several books now compiled with all of the various secrets that have been mailed in.

Anyone is invited to anonymously contribute secrets to PostSecret and the newest PostSecret book, PostSecret Confessions on Life, Death and God.  Reveal anything - as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before.

Create your 4-by-6-inch postcards out of any mailable material. If you want to share two or more secrets, use multiple postcards. Put your complete secret and image on one side of the postcard.  Be creative but please don't use any copyrighted images that may prevent us from including your secret in the new book.

As an artist, this is something I've wanted to do for a while.  There is something provocative about sending your art into the world anonymously... and then tying to it such a precious morsel of yourself... wow.  Well, now I can so that I've been there and done that.  My contribution to the newest book and ongoing website has been made.  :)  If you want to contribute as well, check out http://postsecretcommunity.com and http://www.postsecret.com.
