Once out of college, most of us find it rare to receive care packages. Remember having your day brightened after treking down to mail services to retrieve a package, tearing it open with anticipation of what might be inside? But gone are the days of mystery boxes packed with love and much needed supplies from mom.

Enter Project Dispatch, an artwork subscription service that aims to reclaim a bit of that feeling. Conceived by two area Corcoran graduates, Rachel England and Chandi Kelley, the service allows subscribers to choose an artist who will send you art in the mail each month. Subscriptions are three, six or 12 months, and you can choose your payment level starting at $15 and going as high as $40 per month.

England and Kelley set out with the idea to get artists working and creating. As both attended Corcoran, England explained, the college pushes students to create small works. “That’s where you make discoveries [as an artist] and where your larger work comes from,” she said. And with the small monthly subscription rate, all the work is expected to be small.

Currently, 18 artists are involved in the project with plans to expand the group to 30. Over half are Corcoran graduates and many are area working artists whose body of works are quite diverse. Subscribers can find visual and digital artists, as well as musicians and poets.
