Arts in Letters is THE arts and sciences-themed historical letter subscription. I find letters written by the greatest creative minds in history, research their lives and work as related to the letter. I then create a 3-4 page package including the letter and background, inspirational quotes, suggestions for learning more, whatever I can fit into a letter envelope. My goal is not only to inform, but also to create in the reader an appreciation for all the differentexamples of creation and innovation that surround us and hopefully to inspire people to nurture their own creativity.
