(letters) On Art, for a year

Picture the twelve envelopes waiting for you this year. One a month, on a grey Tuesday or a slow Sunday, your name on the front and nothing inside that asks anything of you.

That's a year of "(letters) On Art": a small, fixed appointment with art, kept for you even in the weeks you forget to keep it yourself.

Why a year

One beautiful moment fades. A ritual that keeps coming back changes the shape of your weeks. Twelve letters and four seasons of the magazine give a habit time to settle: you start keeping the envelopes, saving a painting for Saturday morning, reading the last page in bed.

It's also simpler. You decide once, and the year looks after itself.

What arrives

1. A letter every month. Typed pages with a few handwritten lines and small sketches of mine: one work of art, its story, and a short practice to go with it.
2. A postcard with every letter, to keep or to send on.
3. "(meditating) On Art" every season. Our magazine, printed and bound, in English and French side by side: slow art, recommendations to nourish you, a planner and pages to write on.
4. A printed journal insert, only with the yearly plan.

The year, in numbers

• €240 a year, paid once, instead of €264 for twelve months paid monthly.
• Twelve letters, twelve postcards and four printed issues, sent from Paris.
• About €4.60 a week, roughly a coffee and a croissant on a café terrace.

Founding members

The first letters leave Paris in December 2026, and issue 01 of the magazine follows in January 2027. Anyone who subscribes for a year before December 2027 is a founding member and receives a one-time bonus that won't be repeated. I'm making it now, and founding members will be the first to see it.

Who it's for

For you if you love art, books or museums but rarely give yourself time for them. If your phone knows more about your day than you do. If you'd like one thing in your month that is slow on purpose.

It isn't a course, an app or a box of products. If you'd rather have daily content or guided meditations, this isn't it. Each practice is a guide, followed by silence.

Questions

Are the letters handwritten? They have a handwritten look: typed pages with a few lines written by hand and small sketches.

What if I miss a month? Nothing is lost. A letter arrives and waits for you, there's no catching up to do.

Will I have time for it? A letter takes a few minutes to read. The practice can take two minutes or twenty, whenever suits you.

Does it renew? Yes, once a year. You can cancel any time from the link in your welcome email, and the next year simply won't start. If the price ever changes, you'll hear from me by email first.

Can I start monthly instead? Yes. The monthly subscription is €22 a month, and you can cancel any time.

Can I give it? Yes, as a 6 or 12 month gift, paid once, wrapped in satin ribbon.

Where do you send? From Paris, to France and abroad.

What if a package arrives damaged? Write to me within 7 days with a photo, and I'll send a replacement.

Anything else? Write to me at bonjour@maisonevieve.com. I read and answer everything myself.
