March Break Drop In: Mixed Media Artist Trading Cards (ATC's)

Level: Beginner
Medium: Painting
Ages: +4

Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are miniature works of art, measuring just 2.5" x 3.5" —the same size as baseball or hockey cards — and are designed for collecting and trading. These tiny canvases can be created using any medium you like —painting, collage, drawing, and more.

All materials will be provided, and when you're done, you'll sign and date the back of each card to give it that personal touch. We'll also have protective sleeves available to keep your mini masterpieces safe.

Traditionally, ATCs are traded, so if you're feeling adventurous, leave one of your cards in our sharing bowl, and feel free to trade it for a piece of art made by someone else. It's a great way to connect, share, and collect!

Location: FortyOne: Local Art Market, 41 Victoria St East, Alliston

All three artists; Shelly, Emma & Connor love to create in diverse media - but our subjects are almost always animals and the world we share.

Wild creatures that share our fragile environment, farm friends and companion animals, we are inspired by the creatures around us

Shelly creates small scale and miniature pieces in digital media, rich coloured pencils, delicate inks, or scratchboard.
Emma creates beautiful whimsical acrylics, inks and watercolours
And Connor creates large scale murals in spray paints, lush oils on canvas and bold inks.

Custom projects are always welcome - we would love to discuss your creative vision!
