LSAF – Interactive Arts Tent– Stamp of Sunshine

 

Festival goers are invited to write and send free postcards to anyone in their life! Stamp of Sunshine postcards are designed by Logan Square artists as a part of their Neighbor Series! Founder Alexandra Mamalakis's neighbors have been her "village" over the past 5 years in Logan Square.

Special thanks to Alexandra Tzougros, Laura Devitt, Cam Gasser, and Lucas Gonzalez.

Stamp of Sunshine is a Logan Square born non-profit with a mission to build community by creating space for genuine connection through handwritten messages. We invite you to pause and write a letter to someone in your life! We provide free materials, stamps, a mail drop, and send the cards out the next day.

Alexandra started Stamp of Sunshine after she was going through a hard time in 2020 and people in her life wrote her letters. Those handwritten letters still are up on her wall today and remind her of who she was during that time. Alexandra wants everyone to have a tangible reminder that they are known and loved, and invites all of you to come reach out to anyone in your life – stamped and sent for free!

In 2023 a Logan Squarian, Alexandra Mamalakis (MSW), had her neighbors over for a spontaneous evening to make and write cards. It was a connective art filled night. The next week, she brought the idea to Sip of Hope and hosted another pop-up where everyone could write cards to people in their life. Now in 2026, Stamp of Sunshine is a non-profit and over 7,500 postcards have been sent and 200+ pop-ups have been hosted in community spaces.

Stamp of Sunshine is excited to be back at the LSAF for the second time this year! A special shoutout and thank you to our artists from our "Neighbor Series." Alexandra Tzougros, Cam Gasser, Laura Devitt, and Lucas Gonzalez. Those neighbors who came to the very first event are now artists for Stamp of Sunshine. We are so excited for you all to send your words on their art that will be send around the world.
