Q: What kind of types of Mail art exist?
A: There are basically two main types of mail art:

A collection mail art project is one which hosted by one artist, and a group of other artists mail in their art
to the host. The host then sorts the mail art and mails different art back to the participants.
In a collection mail art project the host may or may not include their own art, although typically the host
does participate. (Published by Pam Gaulin - Featured Contributor in Lifestyle and Arts & Entertainment)
