Artist Trading Card GroupFourth Saturday of every month, 1-4 pm
 
This is a group for discussing, making, sharing, and trading Artist Trading Cards.  Artist trading cards are original, small editions and, most importantly, self-produced. Anybody can make them!  The only two rules are that they measure 3-1/2" by 2-1/2" (the size of a playing card) and are never sold but either given away or traded.  The artist trading card concept started in Zurich, has been going since 1997, gaining international popularity.
