Size Does Matter!

The Village Artisans Gallery in Yellow Springs is hosting an
ARTIST Trading Card Show!

And Everyone is Invited!
So come on all you bloggers and readers and artists and would be artists! Here is your chance to get Original Artwork for FREE!
Of course, you have to contribute your work in order to get work. A lot of people know how this works, but let me just give you the specifics...

There are some RULES to trading Artist Cards

1. Artist trading cards are pieces of watercolor paper, cardstock, or illustration board that are 2.5"x3.5" in size.
2. An artist creates an original work of art on these tiny canvases and then trades them with other artists through groups and events.
3. Trade is the operative word. Cards should not be sold.
4. Any medium is allowed on trading cards. Some examples of mediums that other artists have used is crayon, wax reserve, collage, gel pens, concrete transfers, watercolor, colored pencil, and pencil sketchings.
5. On the back of the cards, the artist should print their name, contact information (an email address is fine), the title of the work on the artist trading card, and a number if it is part of a series.

ATCs can either be bought at Art Stores pre-made or can be made from larger sheets of paper cut down to size.

So, if you are interested consider this your official invitation and follow the specifics above and below...
