Richmond BC, Canada #richmondartgallerybc
Join us for a fun and creative gathering for adults to explore the world of Artist Trading Cards.
Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, this event is perfect for anyone interested in trading unique and handmade art cards. Connect with fellow art enthusiasts, share your work, and discover new talents.
Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are miniature artworks sized 2 ½ x 3 ½ inches created in any medium. They are designed to be traded as a way to meet other artists, build community, and join in a collaborative event. ATC swaps happen worldwide, and we’re excited to revive this tradition at the Richmond Art Gallery after more than a decade, with hosts, Guest Artist Ming Yeung and members of RAG staff.
Bring along your own pre-made and signed Artist Trading Cards to trade with others. Light refreshments provided.
Free drop-in session – RSVP appreciated.
