About this event
What can we learn about America - its cultures, history, landscapes, treasures - from its postage stamps? What are the challenges and joys specific to designing postal materials? Join us in person or online as we discuss these questions, the stamps celebrating the country’s 250th anniversary, and more with USPS Art Directors Antonio Alcalá, Greg Breeding, and Ethel Kessler.
