Strathmore Artist Trading Cards (ATC)
Strathmore makes it easy for artists to express themselves in a small format, then exchange their creations in a big way. Join the movement!
Artist Trading Cards are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. The movement began in 1997 when Vanci Stirnemann created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him. The movement took off and today there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world including here in Bonney Lake at Ben Franklin Crafts!
Swaps are open to any media, materials or techniques. The official ATC size is 2.5” x 3.5.” Come in the store to pick up your Artist Trading Cards. Cards are available in canvas, bamboo, watercolor, illustration, black board, and an assorted pack.
