This collaborative collage making involves 200 artists who are producing work between September 2017 and February 2018. Artists work in groups of five. Each artist starts a collage and contributes to four others. The finished collages will be displayed at three or more venues in Spring-Summer 2018. <\/p>\n<p>This article appears in KOLAJ #21.

After seeing\u2026kids make terrific collaborative drawings while working together at a circular table, I thought my friends and colleagues might want to play the same game\u2026across town, throughout the region, and around the world.\u201d McCutcheon also said, \u201cI want to encourage generosity. It requires generosity to contribute time and energy to works-in-progress, knowing that your contributions may not remain when the piece is completed. It also requires generosity to allow others\u2026to a work-in-progress that will\u2026be yours to complete.\u201d To learn more about the Postal-Collage Project, past projects and how to participate, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roundtablecollaboration.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.roundtablecollaboration.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This article appears in KOLAJ #21.
