In recognition of Edward’s fondness for the whimsical medium of envelope art, and in appreciation for the vast, passionate community of artists and creatives who enrich his legacy, the House hosts an envelope art contest each year. Our theme for 2023 is Gorey Catwalk. In conjunction with this year’s show Dressed to Kill: Edward Gorey and the Social Fabric, artists are encouraged to think of their envelope-shaped canvases as fabric, embroidery hoops, or perhaps a pleasant tableau for fashionable felines taking a stroll — the interpretation is entirely up to you. The postmark deadline is Monday, October 16th. Submissions are being accepted between now and then. Click here to download the form.
