Hi GDSG.
Space 237 is hosting their 2nd Artist Trading Card Exchange on Friday, November 14, 2008. The theme is "Rustbelt".
"What is an Artist Trading Card? It is a small, collectible piece of art, 2.5" x 3.5". They are not to be sold but to be exchanged between artists. It can be any medium - paint, ceramics, fabric, metal - anything you can imagine. It should be sturdy, some artists protect theirs in plastic sleeves made for sport trading cards."
Do you think this sounds like fun and would like to work together to generate and develop some design ideas? We could get together Thursday November 6 at 6:30, in the design loft if it is open (I'm not sure,) or we could meet in the back room of the break room.
Bring your materials, paper, craft supplies to work with.
Please place your RSVP and any suggestions in this post.
Thanks.

Sounds like FUN! Do they have a number of cards they suggest you bring?
There is no limit to the amount of cards the artist can bring.
Here is more information from their website, space237.com/pages/atc.html
Cards that are one-of-a-kind are called originals, duplicate cards are editions and are numbered and those with a theme are a series.
The artist's name and contact information should be on the back along with the title of the card and number if it is an edition.
How will the exchange work? One of the appealing features of an ATC exchange is the networking opportunities it provides. In order to take advantage of this networking aspect, we will have the artists trade directly with each other this time. This will be different from the 1st exchange.There will be no deadline this time, artists will bring their cards the day of the exchange, put them on display for a short time, then gather them up and trade directly with the other artists. This will allow for a discussion of techniques & media if the artists wish. The artists may bring as many cards as they like. .
This event is entirely for artists. We would like to hear from you which methods of exchange you prefer and if there are any other details that would make this event better for you the artist..
The day of the exhange: Doors will open at 7:00 pm, Friday, November 14th. There will be light refreshments. The actual exchange will begin at 8:00 pm.
