Artist Trading Card Swap
Artist Trading Card Swap
Make some art, get some art, that is the basis of this community program. Each month participants are invited to create 5 ATCs in exchange for 5 from other artists in the group. Adults of all skill levels welcome to participate!* Read on for basic details.
This is a free, volunteer-run activity! Please consider donating to our non-profit organization, Unity Arts Ministry, in support of programs like this that inspire the Creative Spirit. DONATE HERE
How to Participate
1.Create five Artist Trading Cards size 2 1/2” x 3 1/2” (these can be bought pre-sized or cut to size using your own art papers). We encourage art made with care that features family friendly imagery and positive messages. Due to the volume of artwork received, the program is limited to one set per artist each month.
2. Write your name, city & state, and date on the back of your card. You may also include an artist website or social media handle.
3.Place your cards in protective sleeves (optional). Suggestions: baseball card individual sleeves, small zipper bags, an old envelope cut to size or any other creative idea that protects.
4.Place your five ATCs in a sturdy envelope along with a self-addressed-stamped-envelope. A recycled card can help add stability to your envelope.
5.Mail your ATCs to the current month’s host no later than the 15th.*
6.Check your mail for the SASE you sent to arrive with five ATCs from artists in our Unity Arts Community.

There is no way on this Earth I will join Facebook–I’ve been a tech too long to trust that outfit.
So, how to get the monthly host address? Or, is it one of those “hey, too bad for you” things?

I’m eager to get going with this art community. I am NOT on any social media so I hope this email will work. It’s actually my husbands email, I don’t have a separate email.
