The Round Table Collaboration Postal Collage Project is an annual, global, mail-art collaboration in its 14th year. In its first thirteen years, well over one thousand collages were created by nearly 800 collaborators in 25 countries, and were featured in more than thirty exhibitions.
The 14th annual Postal Collage Project launched on the 1st of September, 2024, with 320 participants in eleven countries.
Berkeley Commonplace was established in January 2021 as a means to build upon the success of Round Table Collaboration. Its mission is to bring about and support collaborative art projects and creative activities for the purpose of personal, social and civic well-being. Round Table Collaboration is a Berkeley Commonplace program.
This exhibition is made possible by a Berkeley Art Center/Berkeley Commonplace community partnership, and is supported, in part, by a Civic Arts Grant from the City of Berkeley.
