The Monthly Muse

The Monthly Muse is a snail mail club from OOO Art, a small Virginia studio. Every edition pairs a signed 5x7 print of a new original piece with a sticker drawn by the same artist and a personal letter explaining what inspired the artwork and the mood of the month. Past editions shown on the page also slipped in extras such as bookmarks and art prompts.

Membership is $7 a month with US postage included; international members pay about $1 more for stamps. Sign up by the 20th to get that month's print, and each month's mail goes out in the first week of the following month.

Made for people who want a small, calm art ritual rather than a big box.
