Join the Tiny Art Revolution!
We welcome all artsy folks aged 14-Infinity to join us in making, sharing, and swapping artist trading cards. QUICK FACTS:
• It's totally FREE! We supply the stuff. You make the art :)
• ATCs can be anything -- draw, paint, collage, scrapbook, write poetry, try some textiles like embroidery or crochet. As long as it fits in a standard trading card sleeve (2.5"x3.5"), the only limit is your imagination!
• Keep your artwork for your personal collection, or swap with other artists in our Club Swap Book (on display at NorVA) to curate your own book of original art.
• We meet every Tuesday night, but you can swap from our Swap Book any time during NorVA's regular hours! We also have a mail-in option for long distance swapping (some of our artists come from as far away as The Netherlands!)
