The workshop is led by Zannah Noe, a multidisciplinary artist with over 20 years of experience in community-based art and a long-standing commitment to the ArtMail practice. She maintained an ArtMail subscription program for seven years, sending original artwork to subscribers across the U.S. and fostering creative exchange and personal connection through mailed art. Noe has also led projects funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council and MassDevelopment, such as The Cube in Maynard, MA. She is committed to Art For All, a non-profit in West Concord that has agreed to host the workshops and whose mission is ensuring accessibility, inclusivity and community engagement in the arts.
