    DIY Artist Trading Cards @ FULLER

    6:00 pm-7:00 pm
    August 3, 2023
    Fuller Creative Learning Center
    260 Dover Ave. East Providence, RI 02914
    Join us as Jason, a regular patron of the East Providence Public Library, leads this workshop! Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade, and collect art at organized “swap” events, either in person or online. It is a great way to meet other artists and share your work. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5″ x 3.5″
    How did the movement start? In 1997, M. Vanci Stirnemann, a Swiss artist, created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. After that, the movement took off as other artists organized major “swap” events! Today, there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world. There are also many online swaps.
    Most swaps are open to any media, materials or techniques as long as the card fits into a standard trading card sleeve. Art can be original, limited edition or series. Artists should include the following information on the back of the card: name, contact information (email or address), title of piece, and number if it is part of an edition or series. ATCs are traded, not sold. However, there are some artists who choose to sell cards. Cards that are sold are called Art Card Editions or Originals (ACEO).
