Artist Trading Card Showcase and Swap
The Ankeny Art Center is pleased to present The Artist Trading Card Showcase. Entries have been submitted from across the globe. The Art Center has received trading cards from Kansas City, MO, California, Mexico, New York, Florida, Australia and Canada. The list goes on and on. Artist Trading Cards are small pieces of art measuring two and a half by three and a half inches. Artist groups usually meet, make, and swap the ATCs. Artists also do mail trades across the globe. “Our hope is to make this a traveling exhibition,” said Assistant Director Brent Houzenga, “It’s really amazing, bringing this underground art form into a gallery setting.” The Artist Trading Cards range from all mediums, from drawing and colored pencil to crazy collage and rubber stamps. Artists of all ages and genres take part in this underground movement. The exhibit opens June 17 and runs through August 30, 2008. Please join us June 21 from 10 to 2 for workshops and swaps. There will also be a reception for “Her Own Voice” in the main gallery on June 21 from 6 to 8. This exhibit is sponsored by Pure Paper and The Learning Post.
