Frank Warren started PostSecret as a community art project in October 2004. Since then Warren has received over 50,000 secrets mailed to him on decorated postcards that are sent anonymously. Individuals are encouraged to send secrets that reveal anything - as long as it is true and he or she has never shared it with anyone before. Warren shares the postcards he receives on his blog, www.postsecret.blogspot.com. The postcards have also been featured in galleries, a traveling art exhibit, the popular music video for the All-American Rejects' "Dirty Little Secret," and, most recently, in Warren's books PostSecret, My Secret, and, most recently, The Secret Lives of Men and Women. A portion of the proceeds from the books support 1-800-SUICIDE, a national suicide hotline. Warren's website has earned several awards and continues to attract over 3 million visitors a month. At the lecture, Warren will share never before seen postcards.
